Saturday:

Oh Mr. Wonder, please stop taunting me. Were you flirting with me? Were you joking with me? I really have no idea. And I really don’t care, just looking at you is really enough for me. Kathy Griffin with Jules!

Dinner, every place we went to had a crazy long wait. So we decided to try the new open air Irish Pub. After sitting there for twenty minutes and not getting waited on, not even offered a drink, as we watched two waitresses walk around looking seriously shell-shocked (there’s wide-eyed and then there’s bug-eyed) they were beyond both, we decided to just head to the venue and see if snacks were available. After discovering that they weren’t Jules looked at me and said, “Do you want to just drink?” As if I need to be asked twice. So we drank. So funny. After one drink I'm feeling a bit dizzy. We sit and talk for a bit while watching the place fill up. We wound up with some pretty great seats. Jules decides that it's best if we procure another drink. We head to bar number one and see a crazy long line, so we go to the second bar and opt for a beer instead. Then it's back to our seats to wait for the show to begin. Of course Kathy was crazy, hilarious, inappropriate, amazing. There were several moments when we both were in tears and Jules was punching my thigh. I tried my best to fight it off, but eventually I had to hit the restroom. I was pissed, but there was little I could do. As I stepped out of the hall I was happy to discover that the show was being piped over some sort of loud speaker. Then as I opened the door to the restroom I could hear Kathy in there even. Guys were laughing while peeing, I'm not going to lie that was an odd moment. Can I also say that the men's restroom at a Kathy Griffin show is just an odd environment in general? Guys were checking themselves out in front of the mirror. Guys were checking one another out. I'm pretty sure that restroom was the gayest place I've ever been. The straight guys must have been freaked. Oh who am I kidding? There were no straight guys at a Kathy Griffin show. After the show we drove back to Jules and sat and talked for a bit. Her house is overrun with cats. I was a bit freaked at first but they were all so sweet and lovable that I eventually was able to relax. One kept head-butting me in an effort to keep me petting it, too funny. On my way home I stopped at Wendy's because I was dying at that point. The food was disgusting, but at that point it was 11 p.m. and I guess I got what I deserved. I chowed on the drive home, got in the door, and crawled into bed.
