Say Cheese... Now Smile!

LOOOONG day... but what a day it was...

This morning, drove to Fullerton for a reception that we were decorating there... from there, drove down to Inglewood to drop off the personal flowers at the bride's house and then it was off to Beverly Hills to decorate the ceremony site. Guess what I saw... well 2 houses away from the park where the ceremony was at was the home of the "fu*cking Prince of Darkness"... OZZY OSBOURN!!! Serious!! We were driving near Sunset looking for the park and I see this peach house with brown gates that looks very familar... and it all becomes clear to me... ITS THE OSBOURN house!! KICK ASS!! :) It was very exciting. The gate had some scary lookin gothic gargoyls on it. OoOoOooo... anyways, the park that we decorated was really really really pretty. I was telling Carrie its one of those places where your imagination goes wild with incredibly romantic scenarios of dashing men professing their love to you standing next to the fountain while everything is just looking beautiful around you.*awww* yeah.. its THAT pretty.

We finish in the nick of time and then get stuck in traffic for an hour trying to get back to Fullerton, where we finish the decorating this weird reception hall that has moose heads on the walls. (moose heads, chiffon, twinkle lights and columns... hey... whatever floats your boat.) Rush over to the mall to pick up some stuff and then I come back home.

Well, Carlene said that she had wanted to go to a jazz club for her birthday outing with mom, Michael and I... so I found this really kick ass club down near Hollywood. OH MY GOODNESS... this HAS to be the coolest thing that I've done in a while. The club is called "THE BAKED POTATO" and as you can guess, all they serve is alcohol and baked potatoes. (21 different types to be exact) Tonight, it was Kevin Eubanks of the Tonight Show fame and Will Calhoun from the rock band "IN LIVING COLOUR". Oh my goodness... it was soooooooooooooooooooooooo kick ass. I cannot stress how cool tonight was... it was so great. The club was really small and intimate and like Kevin Eubanks was like 4 people away from me and I could see his fingers going wild on the guitar. And Will Calhourn... he totally rocked on the drums tonight. Yeah... it was soooo coool. :) The Baked Potato is seriously my new favorite place in the whole wide world now... :) The club had a 2 drink minimum and so it was getting rather warm in the club... and Carlene was *happy* the entire night.

*meeting Kevin Eubanks*
mom: (pointing to Carlene) Its her 21st birthday!!
Kevin Eubanks: Oh hey!! Happy Birthday!!
Carlene: I'M SO DRUNK.

Anyways, after the first set, we decided to go get some food so that the drunkards (mom and Carlene) could sober up... so it was off to get some chicken and waffles at Roscoes on Sunset. :) We were gonna go to the Hustler Store (so we can have the pleasure of saying we got chicken, waffles, and PORN with our mom) but we were all pretty tired... we'll save that for a rainy day. ;)
