Another bachelorette party!! Another friend getting married :)
This time the guest of honor was Mandy G, a friend of mine from high school who will be getting married in mexico in a few weeks. At around 4pm Bradie, Jessie and I took a cab from Bradie's house to downtown St Paul where we met the rest of the party at Pazzaluna for a few drinks before heading across the street to the Lowry Theater to see We Gotta Bingo, an interactive dinner theater. The show was alright....not as good as I had hoped it would be. We played four games of bingo and were served Simek's-quality lasagna for dinner. We all agreed that the dining experience was a disappointment, but it was a nice, different idea than the typical bachelorette party. The show was done by 7:30!
We went to Great Waters Brewing Company after the show for a few drinks and to hold a personal shower for Mandy. She got some really great lingerie! Later we went to Fhima's for a few more drinks. This place was cool but VERY laid back....those of us who were still left wanted to go somewhere in St Paul that we could shake our booties....so about 7-8 of us found a ride and headed to the Wild Onion on Grand Ave around midnight. We definitely did some booty shakin' up in there! All was well until bar-close when Bradie realized that someone had stolen her purse. Her gorgeous purse she bought in Rome with all her credit cards, ID, check book, car keys and Jessie's brand-new celly. Effin bummer, it was!!! The bouncers at that place were pretty big A-holes about it too. Effers!!! We took a cab back to Bradie's and finally went to bed at around 4:30 am. Woke up the next morning at 9am. Not enough sleep at all!
***ETA: I removed the slideshow because it was slowing things down a bit. If you would like to see the rest of the pics from the bachelorette party, check out this album!
So that's a brief review of the party. Congrats to Mandy on her upcoming tropical wedding, wish I could be there!!
