Day 151/365 (January 16, 2009)

Things to Ruin got temporarily side tracked because of The Zipper Factory's immediate and surprise closing. Joe Iconis and his peeps aren't ones to just take something like that and let it side track them so they decided to throw a pep rally at Dalton's at the time things to ruin would have started playing. I went inside and found AnneMarie and her friend Caitie there and Becca and her friend Grant Lil joined us a little while later. It was fun sitting and talking, and eating pretty yuck chicken tenders. Jason was sporting a camera and he was filming people talking about joe iconis/things to ruin and what not and we got into a lovely conversation about New Jersey and its suckiness, LOL!

After it was over Lil and i went to Pinkberry... it may have been 10 degrees outside but it is never too cold for Pinkberry!

I then hightailed it over to The Duplex to meet up with Hope and her friend Chelsea to be at Mostly Sondheim, which started way late, but was way fun! and Hope's friend can S-I-N-G!!!!

Day 135/365 (December 31, 2008)

New Year's Eve was truly great! I met up with Hope and Kayla and we had dinner at Brother Jimmy's BBQ (so good), then we headed over to Urban Stages and met up with Tara. We made a brief stop at a Starbucks to stay warm, then went into the theatre and eventually met up with everyone else we were planning on meeting... Lil (at Starbucks though), Alicia, Billy, Angela, and Meggan. Rewrite was a really different show and i enjoyed it alot, then we all left and had a little food they had set up in the lobby and down the scary spiral staircase (too many brownies!)... then we headed back into the theater and were treated to Joe IConis and his talented friends singing... just before midnight they put up a digital ball, and we counted down and sand Auld Lang Sang. (How do you spell it?) They finished singing and then we all just goofed around with each other. This was the super amazing cake they had (i took this shot before midnight). It was not only beautifully decorated but it represented the night and Rewrite. We are talking Marzipan, and Eggs Benedict, and a piano keyboard, with Joe Iconis, and New Year's Stuff. It also had a ginormous 2009. It was the best way to send off 2008 and ring in 2009 (amazing friends and kickin' music)
