More firsts and repeats:

Red Stripe Light: Most of the beer drinkers in the group drink Red Stripe Light and I said I would try it for the first time. I'm a Red Stripe girl all the way and just don't understand why they make any beer light much less my beloved Red Stripe. Well, I tried it and yuck, they could not convert me. I will stick to Red Stripe!

Glow Sticks: Something different and since one of the ladies was celebrating her bday, we decided to light it up for the bday celebration + ladies night. who would have thought that 300 glow sticks from Walmart would be so much fun - some made belts, some wrapped their shoes, some in hair, pockets, between boobs, behind ears...basically any and everywhere had a glow stick.

Bday Celebration: We planned a Beach BBQ Bday Party at a local spot but the efforts on this particular location was surprisingly not very good so we decided to take our money elsewhere. Everybody knows how hard it is to make decisions when it's a large crowd so by time it was said and done, we made it to Pushcart at 10pm.....we were greeted and told the kitchen was closed. I was darn close to being on my knees begging so the manger agreed to seat us as long as we ordered our food right away. I love the ambiance up there and the service is great but this particular time, I was not happy with my curried goat. I've eaten it there many times but I think since the kitchen was closing, I got the scrapings from the pot - lots of bones and pepper. Some ordered fired chicken and loved it. Some ordered "shrimp" and were amazed that Jamaican shrimp were so large. As the plate was passed around (I'm allergic so no shell fish for me), I noticed those weren't shrimp, it was crawfish. It was returned to the kitchen and the waiter said it happens often.

Jungle: Been there, done that and can do without but since we were all lit up and the group wanted to go, I joined in. We made a quick pit stop at NBCC where the guys separated from the gals. Us ladies loaded up the van and made it inside the Jungle with light sticks everywhere and lei's. We lei'd the bartenders and promptly began taking shots -- ordered Grey Goose shots but that was not Gray Goose coming out of that bottle...I stuck with Red Stripe for the rest of the night. We had fun laughing, talking and laughing. We even got to see Poolguy Windsor again.
