Darwin

In October we all hoofed it to Vegas to celebrate the 30th birthday of Jenn the Hottie. The girls all flew out together (along with Paulie) and a few guys met up with us later. While waiting for our flight, we of course found our way to the airport bar. There we befriended, Darwin, the bartender. Darwin is a key wiseguy who got us all drunk and enjoyed our shenanigans. He even let us talk him into taking a few pictures with us.

Fast forward to last weekend when the girls again all traveled out of town together to celebrate Bean's 30th. Donhollironi and I arrived at the airport first, and of course headed straight to the bar. The second we walked in, our old friend Darwin grinned and shouted out, "Hey Ladies! A couple of bloody marys for you?" Who could say no to that?

While we sat and spiced up our drinks, G-Mo called on the cell. Donhollironi answers and G-Mo asks where we are. "We are in the bar," Donhollironi replies. "Oh! Is Darwin there??" were the first words out of G-Mo's mouth.

Of course, Darwin was tickled pink by this. At that precise moment, in walks Jenn the Hottie and Tanya. Darwin says,"Here are two more of my girls!" He looks at Jenn the Hottie and continues, " G-Mo just called! She asked if I was here - are the other girls coming?"

And so we again allowed Darwin to get us drunk and make us think we were missing our flight - which put Donhollironi and I in a panic and had us running to the gate only to be stopped by the long line of people waiting to get on ahead of us. This time, we got Darwin's email address and Jenn the Hottie sent him the picture of us.

So, if you ever find yourself at the SJ airport, be sure and stop in the bar and say hi to Darwin. Tell him "the girls" sent you. And then drink up.
