Thursday and Friday comprised an epic 2-day birthday bender, although I went so hard that I never got around to posting Thursday's steps before passing out. After an ordinary school day, I slipped out of the building with no time to waste. A longtime Magic the Gathering tournament playboy was turning 30 and celebrating with a comedy show, snacks, cakes, and a roast to top it all off.
It was a great night with familiar faces from my competitive MtG past and present, with a few of the guys regulars in the city EDM circuit. Of the 10 comedians we saw, most of em got me to chuckle snd a few were pretty damn good at their craft. Then we had 30 minutes to chat it up with drinks and coke before we got to roasting the birthday boy.
It was a fun trip down memory lane, while also affording me the chance to learn more about his recent escapades while getting himself through law school in NYC. The comedy club gave way to the dance floor but we were still hopping when the clock struck midnight.
16K steps into Thursday gave way to a classic Brooklyn after party, as we made the Uber ride from the Manhattan-based Lower East Side comedy spot. It was a real treat riding around in an Uber XL on such a cold day, especially because we were headed to an old converted convent deep in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn.
We continued to celebrate the birthday boy at the magnificent communal living space that we had the privilege to kick it at for the afters. There was tons of jaw dropping art from talented career artists who had lived there over the years, and I led off the piece with an adorable dog from one of the walls.
We kicked it for four hours while making friends with some very heady characters. I enjoyed my talks about crypto and freedom. I departed for the NYC subway at 4am and made it home before 5. After an hour of lesson planning, I popped in the shower and got ready for the day.
I held it down for a solid day of school and helped to rehearse our teacher dance for the school's holiday showcase. I got home at 5pm and no rest for the weary. slipped into a new outfit and headed over to my weekly soccer pub for a holiday party with some old characters from my childhood hometown. It was a blast from the past mixing it up with a bunch of guys I hadn't seen in 25 years.
It is amazing I was able to keep my head up and make a decent night of things. Big props of the class of 98. 24K steps and going strong. Until next time...
