we went to Lawry’s in beverly hills for Joel’s birthday and it was nice to see so many great friends showing up. joel sent out his little evite with like 3 days notice and took it upon himself to add my name to the title, “Jamie and Joel’s Birthday Dinner”. It was so not for me! Joel said he said no one would have showed up if he just put his name, but Sam let him know, more people would have if he removed my name, haha.

thanks to everyone that showed up, especially those that came from so far! Christian, Nuggie, Sam, Tommy, Nian, Chad, Nina, Sean, Erik, and his 2 friends (i suck i totally forgot their names). After dinner we went over to Jones on Santa Monica and Formosa, but it was soo fucking packed that you had ot stand in the aisles and do nothing. We got bored of that real fast and went across the street to Formosa Cafe.

I told myself to bring a camera and take pictures of people, but who am I kidding, I don’t even own a camera.

After the bar closed, we went to pick up our cars, and christian was too drunk to drive his jeep, so he turned it around to park it. He ended up running his tire onto the street gutter and the metal plating sliced his tire open and gave him a flat. That sucked ass.

Afterward we went to my house because Christian didn’t want to stop partying and sean was still wide awake. I have no idea how Sean does it, but he is always the last to go to sleep. In fact I don’t think I have ever seen him FALL asleep. Not only is the the last to go to sleep, he’s the type to NOT sleep over, jump in his car, and drive his ass all the way home. I think sean is a robot.

*does the robot*

Christian, Joel and I met up with Nina and Chad the next afternoon at Hugo’s on santa monica for some brunch. The waitress was ultra cute. We realized at this point in time, Christian is a calico human with multicolored hair.

After changing his tire, we drove down a traffic jammed Western and finally hit the freeway. We were 2 hours late for Joel’s birthday bbq at his moms house, but in the end it all turned out well.

Anyway, thanks everyone for showing up It was really good times.
