Ladies' night

What a fun night! Brian and Trent had a boys' night in while the girls and I unleashed ourselves on downtown Austin. We started off the evening at Donn's Depot, our usual starting point, where we ran into our friend and cantankerous old fart, George. I hadn't seen George in over a year so it was a real treat to see him. Next we headed to Cuba Libre for some Mojitos and appetizers and discussed our next move. We were almost convinced to go to the Yellow Rose, but we thought we'd save it for another night when Barbie could hook us up with free admission. Next we took a pedicab (which is one of those chariots attached to a bicycle). We squeezed all four of us into one and heckled the drivers as we went from the Warehouse District over to 6th street where we visited the Ivory Cat. Kenny and Matt were playing and Andi and I shook our asses on the bleachers to some Bon Jovi, which interestingly, sounds pretty good played on a piano.
Next we walked down 6th and popped into some weird bar just off of 6th and San Jacinto and it turns out we knew the bass player in the band there. Somehow we got free drinks, I think the doorman hooked us up, but they were not very good, and we soon left. We took a spin through BD Riley's and then took a stroll eastward on 6th to see if anything grabbed our attention. We eventually ended up at Coyote Ugly, where Barbie dared me and Andi to dance on the bar. Never to turn down a dare we picked out a song and up we got. It's good to get this stuff out of your system every once in a while. We ended our evening Back at Donn's Depot, of course, no evening would be complete without some T and A, so we hollered out of the car at Brian Lee who was playing at Mother Egan's. Sadly he missed the show ;-). Murphy's Inlaws were playing at Donn's. Fortunately, we arrived right when they went on break so we got some good hugs and a quick chat in with them. I hadn't seen the Inlaws since before I was pregnant so we had some catching up to do! And finally, the cherry on top of the cake... Casey Yager! What an awesome night.
On a slightly mushy note, I just wanna say I absolutely love you girls and can't imagine my life without you. You're truly better than sisters to me (though that isn't hard given the competition ;-)).
