Back in early March I was being interviewed as a candidate to take over the operations for small NYC company that creates and hosts scavenger hunts around the city. (I ended up taking the job, but was only there for three months before I was offered a job out in San Francisco - which is where I'm writing this from). Anyway, while I was interviewing with them, I was invited out to check out one of their scavenger hunts that they were holding at the Museum of Natural History. So I headed up there to check it out with Grant and my favorite married couple David and Miye.
After the parking situation was settled, we headed over to a tiny bar sandwiched between the main drag and the water called "The Paddock." Scott had scoped it out earlier in the night when we were walking around town and said that he thought it might be a fun place at night. Here's Scott posing with one of the raptors outside. Hahah.
We went inside around 10:30pm and managed to snag a table right before the place started to fill up. From our seated vantage point, we spotted a really cute local girl with a bunch of her friends and spent the next few minutes watching the group and looking for an opening. Mid-way through our planning, Scott left to pee and while I was sitting there alone at the table, I decided that I was just going to go over and try to talk to the cute girl. Before I even got near her, I was ambushed by the cute girl's gay friend Ramses. He introduced me to the cute girl, Alexandra, and then asked me if I wanted to smoke some pot with him. I told him "Sure, but can we wait for my friend to get back from the bathroom?" Ramsey's said "Oooooh! The big bald, one? Oh, we can wait for him...mmmmmmhmmmmm." Hahaha.
