Trouble in Palm Springs

Bachelorette party.  Saguaro hotel.  All day pool party, dinner at Lulu’s, walking around aimlessly, Chill (or something like that), and then Hunter’s.  Dance party with the gays.  Absolutely no straight guys, go go dancers (who the gays said were straight), vodka tonics, jello shots, margaritas, surprisingly kept my hat on throughout the night, one last drink at last call with the troopers (there were four of us) singing Shania Twain very loudly until we were kicked out.

Between 2am and 3am.  In a daze outside of Hunter’s.  Should we get food or not get food.  I had cold nachos back in the hotel room.  Ran into Dee, the pedicab driver the girls met the night before.  We sat in the cab for what seemed like a long time, listening to (Drake?), while Dee chatted with the girls...some gross, but seemingly straight guys tried to give us a ride home in their Beemer.   Dee protected us and we got on the pedicab (all four of us) and she took us to the casino, which was the only place still open.

Decided casinos suck so we just used the bathroom, and came outside.  More hanging out in a daze with Dee.  Drunken photos on the pedicab (see it on my Instagram).  Should we get food or shouldn’t we?  Dee said the only place that was open was iHop.  Two of us were game, the other two needed convincing. 

Eventually got to iHop, but don’t remember how…don’t think it was Dee.  Walked in and there was a drunk, somewhat trashy, obnoxious chick trying to get a table at the hostess stand.  Realized we were in the same boat.  Sat down and debated on how many pancakes to get.  I needed a lot.  Our neighbors at the next table started singing Sherry by Steve Perry and one of the troopers belted it out too. 

This started karaoke at iHop.

I excitedly said to everyone, “Do you remember that song Sara from Starship?”

Blank stares except from the jolly looking guy at the table next to us.  “How does it go?” he asked.

“Sara…Sara…” I sang drunkenly, but pretty well I think.

“Storms are brewing in your eyes?” he sang back.

“Yes!!!” 

I started playing Sara on YouTube, then everyone remembered and we belted that shit out.  We Built This City on Rock & Roll was next, then Nothing’s Going to Stop Us Now, which our iHop audience seemed to like the most.  We killed it.   We could see people applauding through the frosty glass over the booths.

Then the pancakes came and they were the most delicious pancakes we’ve ever had. 

I still ate the cold nachos when I got back to the room.
