10.29.05-10.30-05 Halloween + Boston visitors
10.29.05-10.30-05
Halloween weekend, tooth and Claudia and Lisa drove in from Boston. Overall, it was a lovely weekend, despite the Cafe Shane Debacle (more about that later).
Saturday began with a 7A brunch…as usual…
…followed by a FULL day of shopping, rounded out with wine at Lindsay’s, then off to 411 Clermont for the Halloween party.
Roommates Tim, Manlio, Tom, and Eric…
Phaedra went as Matt (her fiance, who was in California for the week) and Donny went as Helmetguy…
Tom and I went as Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. Yes, it’s a lame costume, but it was easy and not too hot. Tom has since shaved the beard…Thank God…
More helmet guy…
Gangsta Lasse couldn’t find a fake gun to complete his outfit, but i’m guessing that’s a good thing, since he probably would’ve gotten shot by the brooklyn cops or something…He was, however, stalked later that night by a cross dresser.
Eric is Kauto from Total Recall…

Birds-eye of party (still early)…
Now on to the Cafe Shane Debacle.
So, morning after the party, we head out to meet the Boston girls for a nice brunch. We were all starving. The place we were originally going to was closed, so we went next door to Cafe Shane. There were 5 of us, and we were told it would be a 20 minute wait. Fine, it was a beautiful day anyway. So we wait…and wait…and wait. Then, a group of 9(!) people show up, wait 10 minutes, and are called to be seated. This prompted a very bitchy, “Excuse me! We were here first, and there are only 5 of us!” from me. The apparent head-bitch of the group looks at me, holds her hand to her face in a “phone” gesture and says, “We called ahead.” Who calls ahead for brunch?! Moreover, who brings 9(!) people to a tiny brunch place. This girl single-handedly ruined our collective mornings. I hate her still.
After about an hour, we were seated, and we were starving. We placed our orders quickly and began to wait…and wait…and wait. People who had sat down long after us received their meals. Where was our damn brunch?!?!! We begged and pleaded with our waiter. We thought that we were getting punked on some new VH1 show. In the end, we just decided that Cafe Shane hated us. Our meal finally arrived about an hour and a half after we sat down. Total time spent at Cafe Shane: 2 hours, 45 minutes.
Here’s a picture of us almost cracking up over our coffee…
after breakfast, I found this sign. Apparently “Goo” never closes one door…
