Bachelorette Party

Last night, I went to my second bachelorette party ever. It was a pretty subdued affair, at least if you read the Web sites that talk about Suck for a Buck t-shirts and getting bought shots. Instead, we got her a sash that said Bride, a tiara with tulle, and a magic wand! Our one nod to the raunchy was that I stopped at the Erotic Bakery and picked up a mouth brownie and a penis cupcake.



We picked a restaurant in Ballard, since that is the home of Seattle's only male stripper club, Matador. It is actually a chain of restaurant and tequila bars. The food and drinks were good, but we had a trainee waiter who seemed to be struggling a bit. We decided to skip Centerfolds and try a little Ballard bar crawl. I'd always wanted to go to Carnegie's, a restaurant and bar in an old library, but it was closing when we got there a little before 9!

Two of our group were also crashing so rides home were arranged and a plan to meet up at another bar in lower Queen Anne was arranged. Parking was a challenge, and one of our group spent an amazing time looking before using the groom's parking space up the hill. We each had one drink at the second place, although I went for a Shirley Temple with a splash of orange juice. It was a nice evening.

My first bachelorette party was a long time ago. It was just the bride and the bridesmaids. We just went to the bar at the hotel we were staying, and that was pretty dead. No one really put any energy into it, so it was pretty lame. Energy really is the key to having a good time!
