For Valentine's Day I met two girlfriends from Seattle in Vegas. I drove out taking the twin turbo 3 series... and a fully packed iPod. I had dinner with a long ago ex-boyfriend on Thursday night. I was hoping to just have dinner and catch up on where we've been for 15 or so years but it didn't end up being like that and I'm convinced that he should always date women in their 20s.

On Friday I got to experience a nightclub in NYC. We went to Tao. We had talked earlier about going and then one of the Girl Finders gave us a coupon to get in and a VIP pass... well, come to find out, this is a whole experience in and of itself. Once you meet a Girl Finder, you are sent a few or 10 txt messages both with instructions "Text me once you are on your way." to "You WILL be approached by groups of men waiting outside. DO NOT go with any of them. You will not get in with a group of guys." (I thought that one was kinda funny). In fact, we were approached by groups of guys and we did meet at the set of red ropes on the OTHER side of the enclosed area at which point we were asked to remove our IDs, given a ticket, checked by not one by three apparent "Guest Ushers" before we were led, past the big long line to get in and directly to the cashier, where we presented the get in free card and finally into the club. Interesting place... but I'm definitely not the nightclub type. After being in 4" heels for hours, all of us decided it would be smart to get a table... screw trying to find a guy for a table... so we did. Now, those of you who frequent these places are probably laughing now... for when they told us it was a $300 charge and we agreed to split it, what we didn't know is that you also had to purchase a bottle of alcohol which was probably 190% marked up. In the end, however, it was really a blast. Our "Girl Finder" (nicknamed Gato) came and met us and beared with the strange girl who asked him "So, how does your job work?" Fascinating really... they find girls, if the girls show up, they get paid, the club attracts more men, the club sells more bottles of alcohol. A great night (after all, we had to drink the alcohol)...

After Friday night, we went to see Puscifer for Valentine's Day. It was fantastic... but I really liked the Double Down which we went to after.. .a good old my kinda bar... I admit the long drive back wasn't as exciting as the way out. And when I got home I got the sickness my roommates had.

Work is incredibly busy. For example, yesterday I had back to back calls from 7am to 5:30pm with only a half hour break. I found out today my first on the road trip will be to NYC at the end of March.

No yoga... but it's coming as soon as I'm healthy.
