I come home from working a nice long morning shift in Ice Station Cool one day to find Ian (suprise!) asleep on the Couch. He wakes up and tells me We all have off tonight and we're going to Jimmy's buffett. I turn to him and ask "what?" You know he says it's an all you can eat place over on City Walk. "What?" I asked again. He tells me there is a note in the Kitchen. Sure enough, There is a note: "Chris and Ian, don't make plans, we're going to Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville on City Walk tonight, all 6 of us." I turn to him and said You ment Jimmy Buffett. "No. B-U-F-F-E-T-T as in all you can eat. It must have some sort of bar atached to it." I try to explain to Ian who he is. What a Parrot head is. I get my CDs but it's a lost cause. Ian tries to tell me that no one in New York knows who he is, or if they do they don't listen to his music because it sucks. Alright, everyone is intitled to an opinion. So I left it at that. That night the six of us cram in a Z2X (fun fun) and drive to City Walk. Once we are seated at our table Ian is sitting by a ships wheel. He realizes that it can spin freely, so he spins it. While it is spining somehow he hits himself on the head with it. (how I don't know.) Seeing that he is in pain the other 5 of us laugh uncontrolably like good roomates should. Noticing that it has made him the center of attention, Ian does it again. Suddenly it has gone from funny to sad. But the night just gets better. The waiter comes over and is really cool. he tells us about how he got fired from Bongos for giving mix drinks to minors (wink wink.) Ian orders his drink. (first i should let you know to Ian drinking is everything, at least thats what he wanted us to believe, I don't think he ever drank before his trip but who knows)  "Can i get a maragold?" "Alright, a margritia meragold, one of my favroites." "Oh no no no, I want a princess." And once again the laughter returns. at the end of the night,The cool waiter told the kitchen staff that he broke a plate but instead gave it to me. it now is displayed my basement. Quite cool.
