and I'm not just talking about the recent weather. Thanks to Terri Cambise, event planner extraordinaire, who sent me the email about the New Orleans Firefighters 2009 Calendar party at Pat O's, some friends and I were able to go out last night and partake of mojitos, gumbo (cooked by fireman Mike, A.K.A.: Mr. September) and a silent auction to benefit the NOLA fire department. I mean, who am I to say to no to such a great cause, right?
Thanks to Alesia for being the DD (designated driver). Although, I think the responsibility fell on her by default since she's about 4 months pregnant (and looking like a hot momma, I must say).
I know Pat O's is known for their hurricanes, but I opted to drink mojitos last night because hurricanes usually knock me on my ass. Well, I am sad to report, mojitos also knock me on my ass. Or maybe it's that I am getting older (I will be celebrating my 5th - 29th birthday soon). Or maybe it's that Pat O's makes their drinks a little stronger than what I am used to. Yeah, we'll go with that last reason. So the drinks were strong, I had 3 and I am nursing a hangover this morning. And a terrible backache.
So here are some snapshots from last night (taken with a P+S for you photo ladies).
