A Night of BB&P, Ben Zeitlin, DC Street Party Scene, and a Long Drive Home!

Hey guys and gals!  

So last night me and the hubster went out on the town to celebrate one of my girlfriend's birthday.  We visited Bus Boys & Poets on 14th Street, Washington DC.  Can I tell you guys that the DC streets were jumpin!!! It has been a while since I've gone out on the "party" scene...like my early 20's????  Needless to say, we had a good time sitting with the friends and fam of my girl. I sipped on my cabernet sauvignon and the hubby sipped on his manhattan (side note: he asked the waiter to have the bartender put it into an old fashion glass aka rocks glass because drinking that drink in a martini glass was ...shall we say... not a good look for him. LOL) He calls it his Man-tini. :-) Anyhoo, we met the director of the movie "Beasts of the Southern Wild" Ben Zeitlin.  He and some friends were sitting at a table across from ours and of course, my hubby with his super friendly personality, went over to talk to them.  We took a pic, but my hubby did not like it and will not send it to me from his phone. :-(  I do not think the pic was that bad...hell it has Ben in it. LOL When I am able to pry it off of his phone, I will post it.

After BB&P, we visited Liv Nightclub where a band called Black Alley plays. (side note: the birthday girl writes music for the band)  The band was pretty good but they should have done a sound check or something because it was loud as hell to the point where it just sounded like  a bunch of noise and my damn ears were ringing.  (Or maybe I'm just too old for this ish..lol) To be honest...I do NOT miss the club scene at all and the ONLY time I visit or will visit a club in my early 30's is for a birthday celebration.  You could not pay me to party with a bunch of clowns. LOL As I said, the streets were jumpin... and as we were walking to the car, we got a sneak peak at Victor Cruz (wide receiver for the NY Giants) walking across the street towards Pure night club.  

To end the night graciously...on our way home cruising down 95 south, there was a FREAKIN ACCIDENT!!!! We left U Street DC around 1:30am and we were sitting in traffic for 2 1/2 hours because they completely shut down the beltway. I got home at almost 4am WTF!  It must have been pretty bad and I pray for the souls of the folks involved.  

So...that was my night in a nutshell.  Stay tuned for the next event!

Hugs & Kisses,

Lady Love ;-)


UPDATE:  I managed to get the pics guys...LOL
