I hate feelin sick!!! I've been fightin a cold since Wed. My stupid ass sat in front of a draft Tuesday night and I woke up the next day w/ an itchy throat and feelin exhausted, and until now this itchy throat hasn't gone away. Now i''m havin a sudden cough that comes about every 10 minutes or so. I've been drinking cherry flavored theraful, which I think has helped at least not for me to have a full blown cold, but now I think maybe it would have been better for me to have the frickin cold just to get it over with. Friday night my sorority sisters had gone out to Manhattan Lounge, since one of our girl's was goin back to Hawaii to be w/ her finace. Although temptin, I did the responsible thing and stayed at home resting since Saturday was goin to be a full day of events.

So Saturday comes and Awsome has planned for Cosmonaut's birthday to be at the Hukilau. I had invited my girlfriends to roll on thru and of course the BRL crew, although it was so last minute. We get there and the whole patio area is empty..WOO HOO! This means we'll have the whole area to ourselves...and even better there was a live band playin their ukele and all. Now how awsome is that. Cosmonaut I think he's partly Hawiian or at least I know he has relatives out there. Unfortunately, I forgot that Hukilau stops serving food at 9:30pm or so, so it's only drinks!!! But if you ever get the chance to go, you've gotta try the ahi poke if you like raw tuna!!! YUM!!!

So Awsome and I get there waaaaaaaaaaay early...since we were right down the street in J-town..Oh yeah..you've gotta hit up Sophie's Crepes if you're in the vicinity. They serve gelato in a crepe w/ all sorts of fillings... ok..am I gettin my self hungry or what. Ok so back to the Hukilau, we go in and see Mango and Ms. Voodoo grubbin down. And we roll onto the back and meet up w/ some folks. At this time...everyone's gettin lost..Mind you...Hukilau is on the corner of Masonic and Geary. But there's a trick, there's a side street to hit up Masonic and if you don't get on that ramp, you go thru the underpass and totally pass Masonic...

We post in the patio and get the folks to light up the heating lamps to warm us folks up..Remember...we're in S.F. and it gets pretty chilly. Slowly but surely..more and more folks show up and finally the birthday boy shows up, in his ALOHA SHIRT! He wasn't kiddin when he said he was goin to dress for the occasion... Hey give it up to him...in the dead of winter...I would have shown up in my coconuts and grass skirt...NOT!!!

So Cosmonaut is turning 25!!! A QUARTER OF A CENTURY OLD!!! Now why in hell would you order a triple shot of whiskey!! EWWWW!!! This fool really wanted to get tore up. I don't know how many drinks he had but enough for him to blow at a candle hard enought for the wax to swirl up and splash onto his lips!! buhahahaha Surprisingly enough he didn't yack... 2 people had to "guide" him to the bathroom and I've never seen anyone move in slow motion like he did...I swear..I wish I had a video camera. Even when he turned his head to look and talk to you it was slow motion.. hahahaha A very memorable 25th Birthday Cosmonaut!!!
