This past weekend I celebrated my birthday (again) one last time before saying goodbye to my lovely birthday month, July. I hope you not only raised a glass to my marvelous self, but also to the boy who lived on Saturday as it was Harry Potter’s birthday as well (geeky girl fact).

We had a great time Friday night at the Democratic Republic of Beer, which boasts a hefty beer list from all around the globe! I was able to sample new brews and make some new favorites. However, the bar was tinier than expected so our relatively large group had a difficult time sitting and interacting. I’d love to go again, just as a pre-party or post-party spot. It was way too tight in this humid weather to bear for more than a couple of hours.

Unfortunately, Saturday night’s festivities were tarnished a bit during our visit to Crazy Pianos. Really sad because we were having a great time up until “the incident.” I would hate to hash it out all over again here on the blog, but if you are interested in what happened, you can read my scalding Yelp review here. All I have to say is that I am very lucky to have such amazing friends in my life because instead of the night being ruined, it was merely a bump in the road. We continued our party elsewhere and ended it eating greasy food at 5am.

I really cannot complain, my life has been amazing and every year gets better and better.
Here’s to being a year wiser, spunkier and happier!

ps; Comic Con Day 4 will be up & ready tomorrow morning! I haven’t forgotten!
