So, turned out to be an interesting night. We had some crazy storm that was the remnants of a typhoon. Talk about wind and rain! The network was cutting out a little at work yesterday and by the time I left the wind had picked back up. My train was TWENTY FIVE minutes late. I was soaked by the time it came. There were power outages and debris on the tracks. So making it to dinner took nearly an hour and a half instead of 50 minutes. I got a little over halfway out there on the train and we had to get off and get onto another train. They turned the one we were on around and headed back into downtown. Luckily the one behind us was only about 7 minutes behind us, but my jeans were already wet and it was cold and still drizzling rain.
Once I got to my stop though, RB picked me up and blasted the heater on me the whole 5 minutes over to the restaurant. We went to http://www.chicagofirerestaurant.com/ in Folsom. My friend is dating the bartender, so we took over the bar area and ordered pizza and alcohol. It was good food, great company, and tons of fun. RB surprised me by getting a bunch of my friends out. I have no idea how he got in touch with some of them lol. Facebook I imagine.
He also got me a huge singing card that everyone signed and flowers (pics are up on facebook - the quality is iffy since it was a camera phone lol). It was fantastic to see everyone.
And it's POURING rain right now. Wow.
