We kicked the evening off at a fancy schmancy hotel downtown where we rented a suite. Dena, Brianna, Cynthia, Sue, Caitlin & I arrived at the hotel early in order to properly bachelorette-ize the place (read: decorate with Willies). By the time we were finished, the suite was bursting with streamers, champagne, paper lanterns, champagne, James Coney Island hotdogs, and assorted cheeses. Did I mention champagne? If those aren't the ingredients of a good time, I apparently have never had one.
We spent the early portion of the evening answering deep, philosophical questions about Austin & Shawna's relationship and learning a great deal about loafers, Twilight and one another. After that we hit the town. Suzilla sweet-talked us into Live at the Bayou (... maybe Bayou Live?) free of cover. From there we proceeded to dance our tails off between intermittent bull-riding for no less than 3 hours. I feel confident that we requested Britney songs about 10x more than the DJ had previously experienced in his whole career.
Throughout the course of the evening a cell phone, Dena's boots and a beverage holder were all sacrificed to the Bachelorette gods. I would say that's a small price to pay for one of the best nights in recent history. We love you Shawna!
Look out world.
Hot dog eating contest anyone?
Hotel Employee: Did someone order 7 buckets of ice?
