celebrity sightings and ninjas

Friday night, the ladies and I got together at Andrea’s for our fortnightly girls night where we drink wine, eat food, then raid Andrea’s closet, tell each other that no, we’re neither fat nor ugly, and then head out to a bar on the Lower East Side. That night, we decided on our new favorite bar, The Back Room. Set up like a Victorian living room, this bar is owned by Tim Robbins, has chandeliers and high-backed, velvet couches, and cocktails are served in teacups and on saucers. We ran into my friend Patty there, who promptly pointed out that Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore) was sitting in the corner. Indeed he was, with his preggers girlfriend/wife. We hung out for a while and chatted with the bouncer, Mike, and Andrea made good friends with the bartender. We shall be going there again.

Saturday morning, bright and early, we got up and headed to Williamsburg, Brooklyn for the IDIOTAROD.

No blogging needed to explain this experience because these two links (must read them in order) will explain it all except to say that our theme was CHUCK NORRIS NINJAS:
