The planning for this evening was not as smooth sailing as everyone had hoped. Jenna emailed London Tap House on Monday regarding a party limo and did not receive a response until Wednesday. The initial time given was 10:00pm which was quite early. But since the may of dreams members had already become accustomed to drinking a tasty beverage in the direct hours after work, we decided to jump on the opportunity. However, there was another "Mix Up" and our time got pushed back to 9:30pm. Also, we had planned on enough space for 16 people but they informed us it would only be 12. We just had to hope for a no show (or thats what we thought... more on that later). The early time we took in stride and decided it would be no big deal. It will just make the night longer and we will just have to hit it hard when we arrive at "May of Dreams Central". And hit it hard we did.
I (Joms) arrived quite "late" at 8:15pm and realized that there were quite a few people who had already hit the beverages quite fervently. Of course, these people took the time to dress themselves first being the generally smart people we are. There were a few young ladies who had decided that a little going-out prep session would be in order, as they were held to the same high standards of attire as the rest of us. With little time to spare, all members were ready to go by the time the limo arrived. But then our worst dreams came true, the limo driver informed us that only 10 people could be in the limo. Even with the cancellations or Karan and Scott's Friend, we still had 11 who had their heart set on the limo. But without any further suspense, I would like to present the soon to be newly knighted member of the May of Dreams crew.
Scott Geraedts
In a ceremony that will (most likely) occur later this week, Scott will become either
Sir Scott Geraedts
or
Lord Scott Geraedts
For his unselfish act of giving up his spot in the party limo for the betterment of the may of dreams society.
Of course, (on June 8), he will be given the title of Governor but you can never have too many titles in front of your name.
Anyway, after we all arrived at London Tap House, we were quickly ushered upstairs for some tasty champaign bottle service. But as we expected, the place would not be rocking for a little while as it was before 10:00pm so more drinks were in order. As I said, a few of the ladies decided to spend the precious time before this event preparing their attire instead of their mind (through alcohol...). So some catching up was in order for two of these ladies who are related. And catch up did they ever, by the end of the night, they were leading the way!
After a bit of time on the middle floor, it was decided that the rooftop patio would be a much better place to be as the weather was quite excellent and there seemed to be more occurring up there. The may of dreams crew was definitely owning the dance floor and everyone partook in said activities, even one unnamed person who said that she would not dance. Although she may say that she did not dance and really just got "gang grinded" (Is that politically correct?) by some combination of Sara, Derek, or myself, they was obvious enjoyment in her eyes. All this dancing took a fair bit of energy so thus, around midnight, there were a few departures and some breaks to sit and chat on various pieces of furniture under rather odd umbrellas. But even the breaks could not keep us going much past 1:00pm so we all decided to hit up Montfort for a tasty dish of mediterranean cuisine.
There was no phantom Iced Tea ordered this time which means that the spirit must have been less forceful this evening but all enjoyed their respective dishes. One of the more memorable conversations that took place was between one Derek Attewell and Sara Cormier which I believed summed up the evening quite well.
Derek: "Do you remember that I had to carry you out of London Tap House?"
Sara: "No, I don't remember that..."
Now, one of these two did not remember what happened just thirty minutes prior. I would like to think that both were in such a state to not remember but If I had to pick who remembered, I would have to go with Derek.
After all bills were paid, we all started to head back to "May of Dreams Central" but on the way there, Molly learned of an urgent need to perform a bodily function and frantically searched for a private place to perform such. Following after her big sister I suppose. One of the places that she examined for a private place was around MacNeill Baptist Church which happened to be the church I have attended for the past 4 years... She did not find a spot but all was well when we arrived back at 50 Arnold.
We then parted to our respective humble abodes for a nice evening of sleep and the long weekend of relaxation to prepare for the final week.
Since I could not think of any image to include in this post and a grooveshark account of the songs for this tremendous month, I will now post two images of Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson. The first will get your hopes up, the second will crush your dreams...
And now to crush your dreams...
