Birthday Celebration Part Deux

Last weekend marked our friend Christopher’s “21st” birthday celebration, although according to him it was a “celebration of life”, and he paid us not to mention his real age. Say was fortunate enough to find some time off from saving the world to come up to Thailand for the weekend, and joined in the festivities.
Things started with a tour of Chris and Niddy’s new pad, a cute little abode outside of Pattaya city with two bedrooms and a toilet seat that rivals Momma B’s. We also met their newest family member, Bazil, a very small dog. Pictures would be appropriate here, but the mid-morning cocktails took precedence.
We checked into our familiar accommodations at DayNight2 and did some afternoon shopping. We really wanted to find a princess tiara for the Madame, but settled on devil horns instead. We met Chris at the Hopf Brewery, where we were told he’d be waiting outside but, he might “blend in with the tourists.” This was a logical statement, only if you assume that all tourists will be wearing fuchsia sequins with matching hair and shades. Right Christopher, we almost walked right past you.

After a yard of hefeweizen, we headed to Tequila Reef’s Mexican establishment for dinner and then killed some time on Walking Street. This was easier said than done, as the interests in our party varied between dancing girls, dancing boys and a screening of the movie “The Patriot.” In the end, everyone was pleased and then we went to the karaoke pub.
