This weekend, TWO of my friends came to Athens to visit! Amanda
and Anne! Amanda stayed with Jason for the weekend (she's allergic
to my cats!), and Anne stayed with me!
On Friday night, Summer, Anne, Mer and I had tickets to see
Cake and Gomez in concert. We decided it would be fun to have
drinks and dinner first. Summer brought the ingredients for
Irish Car Bombs over to my house, so we had a couple of those.
Mmm, milkshakes! Then we got Pita Pit and ate it at Tony's
over a pitcher of Killian's. Unfortunately, the concert was
sort of boring. We actually left early. The performances were
fine... I just think I'm getting pickier about concerts maybe.
I just don't have the attention span for them! I would rather
just hang out with my friends. The atmosphere wasn't that great,
sitting in rows, squooshed together. If it were an outdoor
concert in the sunshine, maybe I would've had more fun?
After
the concert it was POURING RAIN. We ran to Casa, and got
completely soaked to the bone. Mer and Summer headed home,
and Anne and
I met Amanda and Jason for a couple of beers. It was Anne's
first Paw Paw Wheat experience. Delicious! Afterwards, we got
Souvlaki's and went back to my house and made it through the
first five minutes of Napoleon Dynamite before we fell fast
asleep.
On Saturday, we met up with Jason and Amanda for a Casa brunch
and speedballs! Of course, it was delicious. Then we headed
back to my house for two rounds of Pictionary. Both games,
the team that I was on won! Naturally. After that, Amanda and
Jason headed home and Anne and I went to see The Upside of
Anger (starring Felicity!!!). It was pretty good. Then it was
time for dinner. We were going to Purple Chopstix, and staying
for the party afterwards, so we put on the tator tots tank
tops that we had made!
Dinner was delicious, another first time for Anne! We both
got the yellow curry chicken and Tom Yum soup. Amanda and Jason
met up with us for the party, and it was a blast. Lots of dancing!!

dance movies! After Purple Chopstix, we headed to Goodfella's
and then The Union. It was a very eventful and very fun weekend!
