Much like robins and the bucket-boys, the re-appearance of a wide variety of events are a sure sign of the imminent return of warmth and fun. Thanks to my friends, my social calendar has filled itself in rather impressively in the past couple days.
On Tuesday, I attended a screening of the new Jennifer Lopez movie. If you have ever wondered about the lack of constants in life, you've never seen a Jennifer Lopez movie. They are generally not good and cliche-filled but yet, not an unpleasant way to pass time, particularily when you have friends around who share your view of her films. This one was particularly full of expected moments so I was glad to have attended a cocktail reception in advance.
Last night was the grand opening of a new Mercedez Benz dealership, not far from my house. I was surprised by this one as I was under the impression that the dealership had been open for months. The opening was sponsored by one of the local magazines and included appetizers from good restaurants, drinks, a fashion show and after-party. We got there on the later side to realize that they were herding everyone to the third floor for the fasion show by closing the bars. The only open bar was upstairs and outside, which was unfortunate as it was quite chilly. Worse the one bar only had one bartender which made for a long wait. We did the only thing that made sense -- double fisted our bubbles. The funniest part of the night for me was while waiting for the valet, seeing all these fancy cars arrive -- Mercedez, Range Rover, BMW, Lexus -- and then my super dirty Toyota roll up. it served to motivate me to want to wash it more than replace it.
These events are always interesting and I'm so glad that they have returned. Now, if only the warm weather they harold would hurry up and arrive.
