The Julia and Heather Affair.
So Im a moron. My high school pal Julia by chance found out that that both of us would be in Amsterdam the same time. I didnt end up meeting up with her the first time, cause I thought she said 3pm in Dam square... but it was 2pm. I e-mailed her and was like... whats up?! I said tomorrow at 6pm we'll meet same time.
And the rest is as they say... history. Or... this story!
So 6pm meet up at dam square (place with the moving still-lifes). Julia and her friend who just happens to be a former amsterdamian (?). It was so great to see someone I REALLY know. I made tons of friends already and had many a night having fun, but theres something so particular about seeing someone you know in a foreign place.
We got some food. All under the guidance of the wonderful and beautiful Heather. See my forthcoming "what Im eating" for the 411)
We dilly dallied the remaining afternoon and early evening away. We met again in another popular sector called Leipt splien. We purchased tickets to a Comedy Show that started at like 11:30pm. It was maybe... 9pm. So we headed to their house boat they were renting and chilled for a bit. Got dressed up, and julia turns to me and goes "did you do your haaaaaaiiiiiirrr" and I said "jeeeeeeeeeaaaaaallous?!"
so yeah, comedy show was alot of fun, it was in english, It was improv, had lots of audience participation and not only that, it was sponsored by heineken... so everytime you contributed a good idear for them to use, you'd get rewarded with a "freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee beer!" (imagine the audience all saying it)
I'm a little rosy there and yes, I typed idear.
infact I came up with a new phrase, "pizza and beer, what a good idear!"
it'll be a thing.
The comedy show wrapped up, had alot of fun, and alot of beer. The three of us won 2-3 beers. Im kinda foggy about the evening after about... halfway through the show.
Julia is holding the nights bill. Upside down.
crashed on their houseboat. they left for a plane at like 5am... the darling angels they were let me sleep in!
Mad thanks out to Heather. She was a wealth of help and generosity. It was really good to see Julia too. She's good people.
