Steak and eggs

TCYC continues to amaze me. I returned to my old work location tonight for a few Rum Gums and like always, an adventure. Tonight was a collection of the old and the young as we took Mills' new boat back to well... the 70's.

As I grabbed my first Rum Gum of the night everyone was talking about 'the secret room.' The more questions I asked the more confused I got but as we pulled up to the dock it all started to make sense. I walked along the white stone walkway passing life size lawn sculptures of what seemed to be Greek God's (it was very dark so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't really Greek God's but who knows) As I approached the house I could see through the glass doors that everyone was correct... nothing inside the house has been redecorated since the 70's. We're talking avocado fridges and matching couches. It was as if I had entered a time warp.

As soon as everyone had made the journey up to the porch it was time to find the secret room. I began to fall behind as I walked slower and slower admiring gold statues of goats and vases that could have been found in Andy Warhol's living room. As I made my way upstairs I followed the voices. The door was to fit flush with the wall and was decorated in matching wood paneling. Luckily for me they had kept it cracked and as I pushed it open I walked directly into a scene from an old James Bond movie. There is a pool table in front of me and a fully stocked rap around bar to my right. The card table was in the back next to the couch and gold statue of what looked to be a sheep laying down. As the first game of pool started I opened the bottle of wine and we all began chatting again. However the conversation never went to far without a comment on the room we had entered. Henry May was still surveying the room when he asked "Hey, does anyone have an ounce of coke because if so this is the place to do it!"

After a bottle of wine and a few beers we all headed back to the club. As the group broke up Mills, Grant and I stuck together as we searched for food and of course a few more drinking. We ended up back to Mills' for a late night snack of Steak n' fried eggs. Only in Texas is Steak n' Eggs and a bottle of wine considered a midnight snack!
