hey diddle, diddle...

Try as I might I simply have not come to hold a soft spot in my heart for the Cat & Fiddle. First off I think birthday celebrations are a horrid event to hold. This is in no way to make judgment on those who have birthday celebrations, I just will never publicly organize such an event for myself. Nor will I allow anyone else do the same.

That being said, last night I attended such a celebration for a good friend at the Cat & Fiddle. Our waitress, Emily, was a goddess. She deftly handled the throngs of people in our party, half of which ate, drank and were merry. The other half just merry. The only place they could seat us was in the cold, dark, Tundra-like corner of the patio where the restaurant heater wasn't working. Luckily most people came prepared with winter coats, gloves and hand-knitted scarves so in reality it wasn't all that bad. It's just the vibe or atmosphere or something that rubs me wrong about that place. Maybe because it always seems to be filled with pretty people who are far too concerned with themselves to even interact with anyone not in their little cool circle of friends or maybe I simply don't like outside patios. Maybe I prefer to belly-up to the bar and engage energetic bartenders in polite conversation or just make eyes with attractive boys across the way. Whatever the reason may ultimately be, you'd be hard pressed to find me eager to return.

Mac n' Cheese was delicious! It is much better if you are wasted... should of had more cosmos. Definitely a far cry from Bergins.

probably didn't help that my tummy and head hurt already that night and all i really wanted to do was sleep. no amount of cosmos would have done the trick...it was much fun sitting with you though. and yes, i am a bergin's baby at heart....speaking of...

I just go in back and play darts. The patio is for the 'want to be seen' crowd.

Try going to the cat when its not so busy - Sunday night Jazz is always nice. Very different crowd. The annoying people are everywhere in Hollywood especially Friday and Saturday nights :)
