#29: Coronas for Obama

The special issue just for our new Mr. President

I pledged that I would do #29 (host an inauguration party for Obama) from my Life To-Do List thinking that I’d do some big shabang with red, white, and blue decorations and “Sloppy Joe Bidens” as the course du jour. It didn’t happen.

Instead, I went to “Isla Cantina” on Sunset Blvd with a great group of gals and had a Corona for Obama. It reminded me of all the subgroups of supporters that form during an election. You know: “Moms for Obama,” “Students for Obama,” etc. Now there is the subgroup “Coronas for Obama!”

The Bar is Ablaze in celebration

They lit the bar on fire (on purpose) and did a raffle to give away a VERY expensive, limited edition bottle of Hennessy 44, made in honor of Obama’s election as the 44th President. The girl who won the raffle doesn’t drink, so she gave the entire bar shots! It was such a wonderful moment as everyone clinked their glasses and I shouted “Yes We Did,” hoping everyone else would join in and instead enjoying one of thpse moments where the room goes silent and everyone just stares at you. The shot was still great, though.

We danced. We made merry. We celebrated Obama-Rama! It was exactly what I needed to cap off such a glorious day in American History.
