Weekend Update with Tina Fey and Page Montgomery
Friday night Vanessa and I went to see Little Shop of Horror’s at the Ahmanson with V’s mom, Brittni and Teena (former students of V’s), Teena’s family, and Aram (sp?) who is also a former student of V’s. Anyway, Little shop is one of the few musicals I can see repeatedly and still have a great time. When I first met Vanessa, she produced Little Shop at the high school she was teaching at. I honestly enjoyed many parts of Vanessa’s show better. Anyway, afterwards we headed up to Burbank and hung out at Bob’s Big Boy for some dessert. Ummm Sundae…
Saturday, we slept in and grabbed some lunch at Arby’s. If you haven’t tried their Market Fresh Sandwiches, you really need to give them a try. They taste really fresh and homemade and actually look just like the pictures when you get it. We stopped by my dad’s house for a visit and then headed off to Jennie’s 30th birthday. Adam did a great job of setting-up a casino environment, including two Blackjack tables, a Roulette table, and poker. The alcohol was flowing and good times were had by all.
While we were all eating sandwiches (not Arby’s) in the backyard, a Nissan Titan went over a median, clipped a tree, crossed over to the wrong side of the road, went up the curb, through a brick wall, and stopped halfway into Jennie’s parent’s front yard. Everyone ran to see what happened and check on the driver (he was alone). He seemed a little out of it and repeatedly asked me, “What happened?” He was trying to start the truck (I think to drive away), but that truck wasn’t going anywhere. After a couple of minutes his story changed to, “Did anyone see a dog crossing the road?” and “check under my car, I think I hit something”. Whatever.
It turns out he wasn’t drunk, just distracted and driving too fast. Everyone brought their sandwiches and drinks to the front yard. Many of us spent the next hour making jokes and watching as the guy explained his story to the cops. There was around 30 people at Jennie’s party, so digital cameras, camera phones, and video cameras were everywhere. Of course I didn't have my camera, so no pictures for you. Anyway, we all had a great time at the party. Mad props to Adam for setting everything up.
