evening stupendously great
4:30am, (saturday) wake up and catch a taxi to the louis armstrong new orleans international airport with phill.
11:30am, arrive at rdu. jane picks me up, and we head off to procure the fixings for a birthday feast of lasagna which would include (though we didn’t know it yet) one hellaciously enormous pummelo (aka citrus maxima / citrus grandis). we get home in time for relaxing before getting into some serious lasagna prep.
jane with pummelo, eric and pam look on cautiously
6pm, people arrive, lasagna cooked/ate, wine drank, happy birthday sang, and niamh’s homemade cheesecake with strawberry sauce consumed, oh my!
11pm, we’re all at cat’s cradle to see appetite for destruction, “THE preeminent Guns N’Roses cover band on the East Coast.” axl: wow.
2am, the bars are closed, jane says “time-out,” so we (gersh, jane, justin) consume an ungodly amount of fried chicken, pulled chicken bbq, mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni and cheese, green beans, and some seriously decent NC-style biscuits. alexa watches and smiles as only a very accomodating vegetarian could.
3am, home, bed.
