Odeon American Party

To break up the Fridays, when it is nice, the office with buy some gargle for people to head out back and have a few drinks whatever your choosing. I had to work a little late and had a beer at my desk before heading down to find out what the story of the night was. There was an American Party going on at the Odeon later but they were going for a few cheeky pints at Smiths just behind our flat. I wrapped up what i was working on, rushed home to pack for Amy and I heading off to London in the morning and dragged her out to meet me mates. I had really wanted her to meet Karen and Sean, but until that night Sean had been illusive. Upon entering the beer garden Sean sprang up to meet Amy and said, "here is a traditional Irish greeting" and proceeded to give her a hug and quite the hard butt grab, not only making a first impression but leaving an impression. Not the meeting of minds that I had pictured, but they both had a good laugh and were happy to meet each other. Most of the lads headed off to a gig, while Colin and the girls stayed behind to keep drinking. We had good craic and soon began to get hungary. We scarfed down some pizza and headed to the Odeon, Karen, Tullia, Colin, Amy and myself.

I knew it was getting late but what would be an American Party without authentic Americans. Ania of the social committee at work was putting on the party and was throwing it for one of her Polish friends coming to visit who has been living the States for the last several years. We got into town around midnight and started tearing up the dance floor. We stayed away from more drink since we had a taxi arriving at the house in only 4 more hours. We said our hellos and then headed home just in time to get a 2 hour nap before getting up again. Sean sent us a text just before he was heading in for bed, as we were leaving to go to the airport. If we had stayed out it would have been a MENTAL session. I knew Amy was a not going to be happy about partying so much since we would completly knackered getting on the plane, as we ended up being, but we had a blast and she could see a proper Friday outting in Dublin!
