On Wednesday evening I arranged to meet Jen few a few drinks before I left for Chicago the following morning. Needing to get up at 6am I wasn't planning anything outlandish. Jen was meeting her friend Kiana, who I had met last year when I was here, at a place called the Beauty Bar (just off 3rd Ave & 14th St). I walked in and Jen was at the bar so I walked over. She was talking with some guys at the bar and they said hi, introduced themselves, and offered to buy me a drink. I of course accepted. A while later, having discussed Chicago, English Soccer, President Obama, politics in general and various other things, these guys said they were going to go to another bar and I should join them. I said it sounded like a good idea. I hadn't really chatted to Jen much so I went to talk to her, and asked what seemed the obvious question; "so how do you know these guys". Her response; "I don't, they were just at the bar when I got here". So there I was, the whole time thinking they were all friends through work or something, and they were in fact complete strangers. We then went down to Pianos (158 Ludlow Street), a few more drinks were consumed, and eventually I decided I really should go to bed what with my early rise. I got to bed about 1am, and got up at 6:15am to make my way to JFK. Chicago would be my next stop...
