Last night we celebrated Kandis’ undisclosed consecutive 29th birthday starting at Opal Divine’s.  Having a pet peeve for on time arrivals, I was horrified to show up and ask for a table for eight, just to find the remaining party of seven was at the bar waiting on me for the past half  hour.   Some how, my scheduling was off and thinking things started at 8:30, I showed up 25ish minutes late rather than a few minutes early.

In accordance with everything Kandis, it was a plethora of pink with pink gifts, pink cards, and pink drinks (benefiting the Komen Foundation).  Kandis, Rob, Jennifer, Matt, Danbo and Brent were fab company as always. A few drinks later, Danbo and I decide to convince the group that karaoke is in order for a 29th birthday, so it was off to Common Interests for a few rounds on stage.

Hoping that we would not face a large crowd due to the ACL shenanigans going on downtown, we were surprised to see an actual crowd to stand shoulder to shoulder with.  When we parked, I saw a bachelorette party making their way in, which is always a sign of fun.  First up from our group (and the only one to make it on stage before curfew) was Danbo with her rendition of Sin Wagon.  The hilarity followed with her Ashlee Simpson-esque dance on stage and with the other mic stand that decided to enter the show via her hitting her on the head.  By the end of the night, we were chatting up the bridal party in the parking lot after being included in their antics.

In the end, it was another great 29th birthday for Kandis with Co.
