Funemployment, Day One Hundred Thirty: Tax Day Redux

yesterday was a classic day of funemployment. got up early, went to the gym, had a leisurely coffee at a new place and read the NY Times (yes, the real paper paper!). then i got a tweet from ladecostified.com, a great site that posts about free/cheap events and deals around town. there were a ton of great tax day deals being offered but the best was a free lunch at ivan kane's cafe was in hollywood.

i immediately forwarded to my other funemployed friends and people who can get away with a last minute lunch. it didn't seem like anyone was going to make it so i went by myself and had a lovely chopped salad and mini mac n' cheese. sadly, i had to pass on the 2 for $5 martinis (seriously! it's their dangerous weekday lunch deal) since i still had homework and class that night.

but as i was almost licking my plate, dan and nick showed up. so i ordered a coffee and chilled with them while they asked the same questions everyone else in the joint was asking. "free? really? what's the catch?" well before they even ordered ian and adam walked in! they're two of my L.A.D.S. friends who i didn't even think to invite but came on their own. random but great!

then, katy showed up after her run with her friend in tow. and in true small world fashion, it turns out dan used to work with her friend. seriously, at one point we had half the cafe tables hogged and were pissing off the staff. it was awesome! so two hours and some free lunches later we headed back to reality but with another great funemployment story to show for it. and really, that's what it's all about...
