So last night was the kick-off to my going-away festivities. The main event featured a beautifully awesome crew that came out to wish me well and cause a little trouble at my favorite dive bar, across the street from some of the best street tacos in the city. I came an hour late. To my own party. I figured since I was throwing my own party, I could do whatever the hell I want, so that's exactly what I did. The night was comprised of pep talks, words of encouragement, shots, dances, hugs, heightened emotions, and ridiculous statements from a group of the best people I could have imagined celebrating with. There were a few who couldn't make it that were sorely missed, but that's why I'm having a series of events to celebrate none other than... MYSELF! It's not easy being me.
But anyway, it was a great way to get prepared to leave. I'll miss all of my escapades, like theme parties and the crazy events that come from meeting random people in this city, and all my friends, but there is so much wild stuff I don't even know about that I'm ready to get into. I have a travel buddy for Brazil now. My friend from the restaurant, Natasha will be meeting up w/ me halfway through the trip. Very exciting.
Anyway, expect a post or two more before I get into the fun and exciting stuff. Thanks to everyone who was there last night, in reality or in spirit. You all are so wonderful!
