Last Night:

First, I dragged Cooper out of bed to go to Noelle's gallery show. (Well, it was the CAC annual juried show and she had a piece, so... Yeah.) It was actually pretty impressive, not just her work but everyone's - and there was quite the spread of stuff. There was a woman there who made comic pin ups, and apparently Noelle and I BOTH hit her up to join something. (I tried for Tart, and Noelle tried for the comic we're doing.)

Cooper and I were pretty tipsy by the time we left for the House of the Blues. We got kind of lost and then even when we got there, the band I had dragged him to see didn't go on at the appointed time and we were rapidly less drunk due to price of booze at HoB. So we left before they went on, and went to see 2weeks3days, who had invited me out to Rock Band Competition at a Hookah lounge.

They don't serve drinks and I had completely forgotten how to play Guitar Hero/Rock Band over the last year, so we sucked. I started picking it up again by the end of the second song. I plan to practice a lot before next Thursday. 2weeks3days and her friends are awesome, and even though Cooper decided to be a snot and say it was 'like flashing back to High School', because there was no beer.

Then I drove us back home, and nearly got a ticket but apparently the cop was not looking at me because he didn't even flash his lights. (This wounded Cooper's pride because he gets tickets all the time, and then I apologized on behalf of all white women everywhere. This was after someone at the party was all 'oh, you're BLACK? I thought you were like, Puerto Rican. So he was just having a night, poor baby.)

After which, Cooper and I got cheap eggs n' steak at the new eggs n' steak place I've found, and then I dropped him off. 'Twas fun.

I don't think I'll be hitting First Friday tonight, because I'm spending the night at Noelle's to work on our comics. I highly recommend this new 'First Thursday' thing as being much better.
