Friday night, a few friends and I celebrated March First Friday with dinner at Du Vin, then cocktails and dessert at Bambu Two. While I love the food at Du Vin, dining there on a First Friday can be somewhat less enjoyable as dining there on any other night of the week. Our wait was about 20 minutes only to be sat at a bar table with hardly any room for the bread, three water glasses and our bread plates. Thank goodness it was next to the piano as we ended up placing our totes, table candle, phones, sweaters and the olive oil/vinegar set on it since there was no room on the table or bar stools.
Besides our accommodations for dinner, the food was excellent and so was the company! After dinner, we headed over to Bambu Two and I was impressed with how hip and trendy this place is. We chose a nice little corner to settle in for a while and ordered a few drinks. My friend and I had gone back to Du Vin to scope out the dessert case and brought back a few treats to munch on.
Before I move on to Saturday night's date, I need to comment on the bathroom set up at Bambu Two. I found it very interesting as there are three stalls, all of which are unisex with the sink outside. I used it once and as I was drying my hands, some random guy comes out to wash his hands. There we were standing next to each other and it felt so odd to be in the bathroom with a boy as he washed his hands and I retouched my make up. Strange, but nothing I couldn't handle. As I was about to exit, another guy comes in looking perplexed as all the doors were shut and there was a girl standing by the sink (me). I told him they're all full and as I walked out the door, he opens one to find another guy sitting there doing his business without locking the door. Some people just don't think. Anyway .... it's nothing to be afraid of, you might even get a funny story out of it like I did. Needless to say, I'll be going back to Bambu Two again. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the drinks, too.
Saturday, B and I took M to lunch in town and to the Waikiki Aquarium for his birthday. B had the best time showing her daddy all her favorite exhibits and she was brave enough this time to hold a hermit crab at the touch pool.
Before leaving, we had to stop in the gift shop and get B something of the jellyfish nature. Two new exhibits at the aquarium included the White Spotted Jellyfish and even a People Tank! Haha ...
That evening, I had a date with Mr. I want to take you to dinner. Yup, he came through. Made it to the restaurant before me, even. Finally met this guy and he's pretty cool. A little on the loud side, but nothing too bad. He's very nice and seems very interested in me. The conversation flowed well and we went to see a movie, too. That was unexpected. We kept it light and went to see "This Means War." Funniest movie I've seen in a while! Date number 2 is set for next Saturday.
Well, readers, I don't know if anyone is reading this, but if you are, thanks! I know this was a long one and I will try to keep it short and sweet ... mostly. Have a good night all ... xoxo
