Anthony’s Birthday

August 28, 2003

Lots of birthdays this month. Today, we celebrated Anthony’s day by heading out to Portillo’s – a big honkin’ group of us, actually. I didn’t take any photos because I felt slightly more self-conscious. Plus, Justin had his camera out and I felt like I would make things feel like some sort of papparazi geek fest.

We got into some fun conversations about smoking, banning smoking from public places, dive bars, and early childhood birthdays that scar you for life. I got a lot of good, full belly laughs over lunch, so that’s always a sign of a fun time.

For some reason, and I’m not sure why, "poop" seems to come up as a subject of converation. I mean, EVERY time we’re at Portillo’s. Hey – I don’t know what this means. Don’t look at me like that. I don’t do explanations. My job is just to document this shit.
