Last night was Ryan's surprise birthday party. (I just remember that last night Ryan asked me to begin referring to him as Pedro, on this blog. Consider it a 2nd birthday gift.) Brenna had flown in Culon from California to surprise Pedro. It was a lot of fun meeting Culon and it was even better seeing Pedro so thrilled to have his friend in town for a few days.
I met up with the gang at Irish Oak, a small pub in Wrigleyville. We all tossed back some drinks, sang songs with the cover band, and enjoyed celebrating Pedro's life.
We tried to hit up another karaoke bar but it was crowded and the vibe in the bar was a bit too pretentious for our liking, so we headed up to Lincoln Square and hung out at the Daily Bar and Grill.
That is when some random folks starting popping up.
First, more laughter, talking and fun. Second, a run in with an ex-boyfriend which was quite unexpected and surprisingly emotionless. Third, more people show up to celebrate with Pedro and one guy in particular looks incredibly familiar. I looked at him and said "I know you." and he said "I know you. How do we know each other?"
After a few minutes of listing off names of friends we finally caught the connection....Sarah and Paddy! Tom, this guy, is Timmy's best friend. Timmy is Paddy's older brother. Once we figured that out we just grinned and continued on with the celebration.
Happy Birthday, Pedro!
