Wooo... still cresting from the awesome weekend. I have awesome friends. I am so lucky to have such a great circle of people of diverse interests, education and quality of life. People I consider family.
A group of us went up to Whistler this weekend to rent a 4 bedroom, 3 level condo in the Upper Village for Amanda's birthday. I met a great group of wonderful new people. We had dinner at Tapley's Pub Friday evening. We went into the men's washroom because we were told there was female porn over the urnial. There was, but there was no male porn in the women's bathroom. We complained, but the boys said they created the shrine and that the women staff need to create one for the men. Then went to Buffalo Bill's to shake shake our booties. I could not believe the circling predator sharks there. The ambiance and music were great. But the young bucks and old men that suddenly appear in your face, grinding you with their cheesy pick up lines are unbelievable. Once guy said to me, "Are you old enough to be in here?" They were so aggressive and would not take a simple and polite, "No." for an answer.
Saturday, we made brunch and hung out around the fireplace. We went into the village and walked around. We had lunch and drinks at Citta's Bistro in the Village. Luckily, Citta's had hot man sexy pics in the women's washroom. Not as much nudity though--still very good. I was sad to discover that my favourite clothing store Willy's was gone forever. I guess the rent was too much to bear. A clothing store like that would do well in East Vancouver.
In the evening, we cooked potluck. Amanda made a delicious apple and coconut crumble dessert. A few more friends dropped in to join us. We played Backgammon, Jenga, and Uno. Marvelous! We did plenty of soaking in the hot tub throughout the weekend.
On Sunday, we went for brunch at Function Junction at a simple cafe next to Lordco. Drove back to Vancouver and I was home by early afternoon. I was relaxed and stress-free, completely back on top of my game and ready to take on the world (or at least calculus).
Sunday evening, a another group of us went over to a friend's on the North Shore for dinner. Lianne cooked up a feast of roast chicken and veggies, vegetable casserole, scalloped potatoes. We brought wine, appetizers and apple caramel dessert. Three days of glorious gluttony. We finished off the evening with dancing in the living room.
