happy birthday george

tonight was my friend george's bday bash...

i got dressed in a black and white skirt, white camisole and black cardigan sweater with lace work and little black shoes. Pearls were in order and i was early so i took the train to 42 and walked up to 68th...

stopping at st patricks cathedral to get susan werner the act of contrition card as protection. act of contrition actually i was looking for a catholic souvenir when i couldnt find a saint card...and found one as suitable..
susan is searching her gospel religious roots right now and i figured after her new song.. Probably NOT she needed some godly protection just in case...

well i got the party and george met me outside... he had the city reserve the street for parking and had parking passes for everyone... i took the train.. so i didnt need one..
i went upstairs to the terrace or roof where the party was and was greeted by his wife.. appetizers of sushi, pig in blanket, spring rolls and skewed shrimp...
open beer and wine bar... i drank pelligrino then switched to diet pepsi over dinner..

the sunset was magnificent and the night sky with stars and breeze was heavenly.

susan werner was the entertainment... i sat with jane and susan for a while before susan played...she played... lets regret this in advance, dont work with your friends. chicago, tall drink of water- movie of my life
george asked her to play Blue guitar, barb wire boys.. which she preceeded with Boy from East dubuque.. a hysterical susan werner parody to the tune of girl from Ipenema
george had her play Forever Young. which she really didnt know.. susan sang happy birthday twice to george...

dinner was served buffet but jane and susan and i hung around upstairs.. after i ate i found jane who was drinking beer by this point and the cookies were calling her so she and i went up stairs to the roof so she could smoke..

jane and i have talked at length about personal stuff in the last two days and i really like her and like spending time with her.. susan joined us and we were goofing around looking at the manhattan skyline
susan werner is one of the smartest, knowledgable people i know... she can recall these obscure facts and her observance are keen.. i have learned more about her and jane and each separately...

we all left together in the same cab.... or rather they gave me a ride downtown to their hotel... i left them at the marriott and i walked to grand central to the train

george had a great party and i got to know susan and jane better.. got a special SW show

great night...
