Right as we were leaving Target I felt a sudden headache coming on, and I could tell it was gonna be a bad'un. So we came back home and I slammed some Tylenol and sat down on the couch whilst Carrie heated up some chicken dumpling soup for me for lunch.
Around 2:30 Carrie went over to the Tarbet house and picked up Lena so that the two of them could go to the airport and collect the arriving-from-New-York Erin Miner! Hooray! She's in town for a week, which is very cool. She's staying at the Tarbet house, just a couple of blocks up and a couple of blocks over, so I'm sure I'll see her a couple of times before she has to go back. When I talked to Brandy a couple of days ago she was a little upset that she and Erin didn't end up being back in T-Town at the same time (Erin is a whole month late).
I dozed and tried to deal with my headache pretty much all afternoon. I took a shower and got myself all prettified. Carrie came back shortly before 5:00, and I ate a big sushi platter for din-dins. Michael picked me up so that Carrie could have a car.
We went down to Fools Play, which was the Valentine's Day Special. I was playing for some guy named Blake. It was our first-ever performance of Strip Club Sub: The Next Generation (SCS:TNG). It went over pretty well. Mike was playing for Amanda, and he won due to some very suspicious math (4.5 + 2 does not equal eleven in my book, but whatever), so Amanda chose to go on her date with him. This was the first Valentine's Day Special in which we had a camera and actually got to film the date (Megan brought her camera, bless her) and it actually worked. The results were pretty funny: Mike & Amanda went to a drive-through, where Mike tried to order a "Black Angus Shake." Then they went to Amanda's apartment, where Tia & Tim were. Then, during a "romantic" walk through the park, Tia (who was supposed to be dressed as a yeti) attacked so that Mike could chase her off and look like a hero to Amanda.
There was some problem with the vertical tracking on the monitor during playback, but it didn't take too much away from the experience. After the show I gave out a handful of hand-made valentines to the girls there.
After we were done tearing down we three (Me, Mike, and Amanda) went and picked up Tia & Tim and we five went to the Rib Eye to do the hanging out with the other people there. Because not EVERYBODY would fit in the car, Mike took Tia, Tim, & Amanda back to their apartment first, then came back and took me to my house and Taisha on up to his apartment.
For once (and even though I got home much later than I usually do) I actually beat Carrie home by about five minutes! Why? Because whilst I was out Fools Playing, she, Erin, and Carly went to this bar way out in Enumclaw to dance to The Boinkers! She said it was a lot of fun, although apparently towards the end some crap went down with police and liquor board. But it thankfully did not affect the trio of Bead Babes, and they all made it home safely.
Now everybody go wish Laura a happy birthday!
