My night started with me getting all dressed up after work and heading to a small little bar by my house called Irish Republic. I had never been there before, but it was highly recommended to me. Lo-and-behold, who should I run into there, by my step dad Kevin and his girlfriend.
They bought me dinner, and we chatted for a good hour. They were nice enough to get a picture of me as well at the start of my night.
Following Irish Republic, I went to Dos Gringos in Scottsdale. I had a book in hand and sat at the bar drinking a diet coke. I read my book and just people watched. Such an interesting mix of people in town for Spring Break. I guess the girl sitting at the bar reading a book got people's attention. In short order I had all sorts of conversations struck up by the various people. I did get a picture with a nice couple who were very funny and fairly awesome to me. They made my night more interesting. I stayed sober, no desire to drink yet.
From Dos Gringos I went to a night club in Phoenix called Sanctum. It had really good music and I was overall pleased with the vibe. It was a smaller club...and I didn't get hit on or anything, so I was comfortable. I met a couple friends there...Renaissance Festival people, that I trained their blind husky. They came to the Arizona Fest this year JUST to see me! Which is nice. It was really nice to see them, and I had a blast there!
To end my evening I had an old school sleepover with my oldest friend Katherine. She is the only person I have ever had sleepovers with and we used to have so much fun together...the fun continued, and I slept great.
Overall, it was a wonderful night, and I'm so glad I did it. It's not how I would spend every evening...but I had been so terrified of putting myself out there...now it's not so daunting, and I'm ready to start over! Bring it on world!
