Around 10PM I pulled into a gas station with the pulled taffy buzz of alcohol like a warm coat around me. I'm sitting at a pump waiting to go meet back up with my buddies, whom I left at the club charles with 3 cute girls. I get a text from them as I am idling at the pump, telling me that the girls are leaving. Well fuck me then, that's horrible. I turn to the guy in the backseat of my car who is measuring substances on a small, personal scale. I tell him that the girls left, and he shrugs, in the noncommittal way of people that honestly could not give a shit about what you are saying. I ponder on that and agree with him. I don't even fucking care about what I am saying. I get another text. "We are going to the ottobar". Oh word? I tell the guy, currently wrapping my purchase for me in a bit of plastic. He gives me another shrug, and we shake hands as acquaintances do. By the time I look up after stashing my get, he has vanished into the night, a white-tailed deer, the stag of a wild hunt led shrieking by the baying of fleet foxes.
I am at the ottobar and my bloodstream is getting contaminated by the feel of cigarette smoke, parliament lights like middle class mavericks, girls in black and short shorts with combat boots, bleached blonde hair and the unmistakable desperation of hipsterdom. We are dancing and tearing it up, no drinks, just energy and music and in my case, a little bit of something out of nothing. The air thickens more than the plot, and it feels as if we are all breathing in just carbon dioxide, the detritus left and gone missing after every good laugh is sucked out of a room. It burns and we like it. This is what we should be doing, exactly what we should be doing, right now.
I run into various girls I know, some of them I met at a bar(those girls are awkward, pale gawky movements like ballerinas on mescaline), some I know from just living here. Baltimore is smalltimore, and the incestuous nature of the social scene here is to be ignored if you want to actually do anything, or go out at all. There is an ex-girlfriend standing almost right next to me and we ignore each other with mutual disaffection. I rather think I should hate her. Instead I walk back inside to dance some more with 18 year old girls, bearing the black cross of judas on their hands. Baphomet would read catullus to me if he could.
The night is over, black sky a curtainfall, and we are walking back towards the car. The drugs in my system are wearing off but it occurs to me that I did not even need them - not when I can just go to the ottobar and fill that sinecure for nothing even like a cover charge.

The food was all excellent, and I will break it down thusly:
1)My wahoo filet? Gorgeous. Risotto was fantastic, creamy without being overpowering in flavor.2)My dad's prime rib + lobster tail was divine - excellent flavor, and the cut of meat was perfect.3)My mom's crab dish was perfect as well - light, served with fresh bok choy and other vegetables.4)My brother's steak was perfect. A truly perfect steak.5)My brother's wife's lobster was also perfect, broiled to perfection and served simply with drawn butter.6)Foie gras. I wish it was served more simply, perhaps with just some toasted brioche, but it was still delicious.
What else do you need? Oh, a lovely 1998 margaux margaux for only 140 dollars? Check. A perfect beajoulais for the main entrees, fruity and light, complementary instead of complimentary? Yeah, we had that too. Service that was attentive without being obtrusive? Yeah, we got that too.
The price was...within reason. Of course, I don't really care what the price was because my dad had a goddamn blast, and when it's your dad's 65th birthday, no amount of money can pay for the kind of experience that makes him glad that he's alive, and that his prodigal son is not a complete jackass. I'd give 5 stars but the prices were a bit high on the appetizers.
THUSLY

haha wait "who cares about price when the experience is so great (one star off for pricy apps)"

He's got a point, you know. No amount of money will ever convince anybody of this.
