After a Saturday spent throwing a frisbee around and laying out in the sun, it's time to get ready for Miller and Avidor's joint going away party at Circa. Chaz, Gavroche and myself pre-party at the apartment before heading up. When we get there, it's the typical Circa environment that I've grown accustomed to over the last few visits. The party is upstairs, so you say the name to the security guard and head up where we've managed to turn the area into a middle/high school reunion.
You've got PatS, Chaz, Gavroche, Miller, JennieJ, Child, Boyarsk, Malia, hell, Richard Haskins even makes an appearance. Glass shows up from her new Marina digs a few blocks away, along with her now famous due to ESPN Magazine friend Laura. The bar service upstairs is horrendously slow, but at least the process of getting in and out of both the bar and the upstairs area is relatively painless, so it's not hard to jump around a bit. The DJ is living in a mash-up reality of his own world, not once to my memory playing a song that was just one song.
In advance of Miller's trip to China, this was a good celebration, though we all know why he's really going, and I don't think it's to teach English. There's another humorous moment in the evening before we leave and head to Mel's for that tuna melt/vanilla malt combo. Not a whole lot of movement or anything unusual on this evening, but that's what you need for a send-off. Bon Voyage to these two, and to this weekend.
