Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder

As promised - welcome to Hamiltoe GONE WILD!!! Sincerest apologies about this delayed post; we will try to focus more on the blog and less on slushies (...or maybe half and half? We're eating/drinking(?) slushies right now.).

First of all - here is our vee log. Watch it. We are out of CONTROL.

Second, we did it folks. We ventured downtown, and traversed the land until we came upon Hamiltoe's very own dirt mall (We didn't say it! B.A. Johnston did. Fast forward to about 50 seconds in.). Jackson Square holds a special place in both our hearts, it being Andrea's former place of employment (not as a prostitute) and Hayley's venue for multiple viewings of Bring it On (that she did). In truth, Jackson Square used to be the most hip happenin' place in Hamiltoe. We're not quite sure when things changed; the area is a little more worn down now. There are, however, many unique Hamiltoe shoppes (pronounced shop-eez) and sights to be seen at this historical, staple commercial centre. We in particular like going there for tea (read this!), books, and to browse the Hamilton Farmer's Market. Ooh! Also -  the library, Hamiltoe's most large and in charge centre for book borrowin'. Nice.

We survived. We then dressed up in our most adorable sixties attire, and headed for Hamiltoe's greatest night out - that's right my friends, we went to Motown at Absinthe!!

WE'RE SO EXCITED!



WE'RE SO EXCITED!



WE'RE SO...ALONE.

Though desolate at first, the place was soon jiving. We danced perpendicular to a solo artist, whom we'll call Mr. Bojangles. Later, we considered allowing some inebriated males at the bar to purchase us some of the club's namesake, but decided to go for shawarma instead. We desperately sought out some Middle Eastern delights for hours on end; we estimate our travels to have taken us approximately 1 kilometre away from the club. The aptly named Vida La Pita provided us with more chicken on a spit (and deep-fried chick pea goodness for Andrea) than we could ever want, and we bussed it home with remarkable safety (if you're familiar with Hamiltoe's bus system, you'll know this is quite a feat).

Before Andrea abandons us to the Ville of Hunts, we will try to get in a few more quality Hamiltoe excursions. Stay tuned!!

  1. Every picture of you two has Andrea on the right and Hayley on the left. You even stick to that in the video!
