Just One More…

Sometimes saying “just one more” actually works out that way, but usually it translates into after I have just one more, I will most likely be ready for five more and this usually leads to a story you tell for the next week. Unfortunately Timmy Tim beat me to the punch for this blog idea yesterday which is ironic because when I left Tim Tuesday night, I was going to meet Mindy for “just one more” before retiring home after a long day.

On Tuesday after I finished my exam, I went out to dinner at Union Station with Maria, had a couple drinks with Tim and then got an invite to meet Mindy and Brent, who was in town from NYC, at Liquid. I have never been to Liquid but I have read about it on a certain other local blog and thought it might be fun. Not to mention, a night out with Brent always makes you feel like a rock star, even though I was only having “just one more”…ahem. I have never been a huge fan of the bars on West Sixth but this one had karaoke with a back-up band and that is always enough to hold my interest. I can’t remember the last time I went out with Brent and didn’t end up at a strip club, so the four of us soon found ourselves at Motion where “just one more” turned into the always famous five more. (Ironically the idea to go the strip club always seems to come from the gay boy and/or straight girl in the group.) After Motion we found our way back to the Ritz where Brent was staying. He gave us the green light on the mini fridge where I decided to have “just one more” while we waited on room service and a nice dinner wine-sure it was 2 am but we were still eating dinner so we needed a nice wine.

The best part of the “just one more” night is the turn of events. What started out as a nice quiet night with a Santa Fe Chicken Salad at Union Station ended up with shrimp cocktail and a stellar pinot grigio at the Ritz Carlton six hours later. Thanks for a great night Brent--I can’t wait until you come back into town in two weeks. Thankfully the next time will be on a weekend. “Just one more” Tuesdays are never a good idea!
