I wonder if Halifax's FS will have a CoC event... I know that they had one for Smoke Signals (I actually just found my old invite today!) and the drinks and snacks at that were super yummy (also, blue storm was my lover). If I don't get anything for CoC, I'm going to have to ask at the store if they are having anything, because god damn it, I WANT TO GO. I haven't gotten ANY mail from MAC since Smoke Signals (cryyyyyyy!!!!).
I went out for Martini Monday at a local place (the Fireside) with a couple of the girls tonight. WELL! The waitress was AWFUL. She was so bad that when I was paying with my debit card, I added a one cent tip. My friend left pennies and a note. Also? Whomever was bartending should be fired. I am a waitress and a certified bartender, and hot damn were those drinks AWFUL. I swear that the classic martini one of the girls ordered had to be 1/3 vermouth - EW. I tried a sip and about choked. When it comes to martinis, I have to say I'm in the Winston Churchill style camp: give a firm nod in the general direction of France and add your gin. I stuck to designer martinis, and they were all terrible. They magically kept having less and less in them when we'd get a fresh round (we were waiting for someone, which is why we stuck it out so long), and the waitress tried to tell us it was because some have more juice in them. Uh, darlin', clearly you don't know how martinis work. And THEY PUT ICE IN THEM AND LEFT IT THERE!? Seriously, I am not going back. If the girls want a cheap martini night, I'll tend bar. 'Cause... ugh.
Ahem. Anyhow... At least my makeup rocked! I reeeaaaalllly wish I knew where my camera was, because it turned out beautifully.
