Yesterday I headed off to the Old Colonial Inn to celebrate my friend, Emily’s (Em), 26th birthday.

I originally met Em and Mark through Anthony and Nicole. At the time, Em and Mark were a couple, and I got to know both of them through various outings with Anthony and Nicole. Usually for drinks and time infront of one console or another.

They turned out to be really cool people. But the world, well, it’s a very mysterious place.

You see, I met this girl, Angie, years back through a mutual friend (Jennifer). I must have been 18 at the time. I lost contact with Angie over the years, until recently.

Here’s the strange thing… Angie, Em and Mark, all know each other through Bohemian Soul! Bizarre? I think so. It’s a massive trip out.

So anyway, Em turned 26, and she invited some friends for a gathering at the Inn. We had a few drinks, chatted and listened to, what I thought, was a pretty cool band. They almost had that funk/rock sound, and a bizarre name that I probably couldn’t say if I tried.

Eventually we all moved outside because loud music isn’t conducive of (audible) chatter.

Em has some pretty cool friends, it was nice to mingle with creative types that shared interest in the arts.

Catching up with Em and Mark was awesome, I hadn’t spoken to them properly in a very long time.

So to that, I say, “Happy Birthday, Em!”
