GNO.
As Miley Cyrus acronymically (not really a word… just pretend) put it GNO, or Girls Night Out. Friday was Tasha’s birthday. Bless her for having a birthday… because birthdays give us a chance to celebrate and indulge. And oh boy did we celebrate. Like champions. We picked her up and drove down town, which was no easy task mind you considering the fact that it was rush hour and there was some freak snow storm that only decided to dump on the freeway. Mother nature… its May now. Could you give it a rest? Anyway. We arrived at the gateway and after twenty minutes of guiding Christy to the correct parking garage we began our quest.. impersonate Selena Gomez and make a music video to her new hit “Who Says.” We got pretty creative I must say filming anywhere and everywhere we could in the gateway; escalators, windows, motorcycles, arcades, in the food court, fountains, bridges, and yeah I think you get the picture. We were famished by 7 so we headed to Tucanos, which I must say is heaven on earth. Our waiter, Peter, soon became our best friend. We ate, and ate, and then ate some more. We decided we should stop eating when Peter so tactfully said “I can’t believe you girls are still eating….” After snapping a picture with Peter........
and adding him as a friend on FB, we left. And that is where the journey truly begins.
Lost downtown. Where in the world is the Marriot?
8:00 PM Friday night, leave the gateway in our procession of 3 cars.
8:05: decide we have no idea where the Marriot is.
8:15 find the Marriot on South Temple, drive around the hotel close to 10 times trying to figure out where we park.
8:20 ask Christy to call her Mom and make sure this is the right marriot and ask her where we should park.
8:22 receive a call from Christy confirming that this is the right hotel.
8:25 order of cars: Christy, Chelsee, Kayla. Me and Kayla get separated from Christy at a light.
8:30 we finally decide to ask a construction worker where to park, and we find the parking garage.
8:35 Park the cars, and then realize Christy is no where in sight.
8:37 Head to lobby and call Christy, she is still lost.
8:50 Christy finds the parking garage, parks and makes her way up to the Lobby.
8:55 we were already checked in so we head upstairs to our room, so anxious to take a load off.
8:57 insert key cards and… they don’t work. Send Christy down to figure out why they don’t work. Meanwhile me Kayla, and Tasha were sprawled across the 12th floor hall exhausted from the confusion of downtown.
9:05 Some sweet lady walks down the hall, takes a look at us (probably judging..) and then holds up a single black key and asks us if it is ours, we then thanks her for asking but inform her it is not.
9:10 Christy returns with bad news, 1. We were at the wrong Marriot, and 2. She lost her single black key for her car.
9:12 awkwardly knock on the strangers room and tell her the key actually does belong to us. How ironic that that lady picked up the key and was on the 12th floor of our not really hotel?
9:20 leave the extraordinarily well hidden parking garage.
9:25 spot the Marriot on state street and drive around and around until we find the parking garage.
9:30 park the cars and head up to the lobby. Switch elevators and get out smarted by the elevator we entered (turns out you had to stick in your key card to be able to select a floor… who knew?)
9:35 make it to the 12th floor of the right hotel located on state street. Find our room, and immediately flop on the beds once inside. WAHOOO!!!!!!
We then went to the swimming pool, and then for the rest of our night resumed our roles as Selena Gomez and finished our music video. It was quite the adventure… and I can’t help but laugh at how stupid we were. But oh it was funny. Such a great night, and such great memories with the best of friends.
The link to the video is coming soon..... having some technical difficulties. so hold tight all. or... log onto FB and you can watch it there :). nighty night.
