On Saturday I celebrated my birthday with friends. We went to this bar in Echo Park called The Short Stop. Named because of the close proximity to Dodger Stadium. They had an old school photo booth {black and white, sulfur smell included}, a pool table, dance floor, and cheap drinks. My best friend Elizabeth was in town from San Diego and all of my favorite people came out. It was a lot of fun!
Elizabeth & Hanna
Kim and Andre
With Hanna and my brother
love these two!
They had a food truck called The Greasy Weiner outside and Hanna was sad when she found out they deep fried it! No late night healthy food for you missy!
our kicks!
I'm so excited that my brother is back in town for summer! We're going to have so much fun! And now that he's 21 we can go to shows together. That's what I've really been looking forward to!
Love the photos and your dress is too cute. Yay for spending time with younger brothers ... they are the best. Sending you a hug! xo
ReplyDeleteAw looks like you had a lovely party. There's nothing better than spending time with great friends. You look charming as always.

You looked lovely!!! Glad you guys had fun, and the hot dog stand brings back going out memories, dogs at 2 am, wooo hoo lol:-)
ReplyDeleteokay, so many things....first off, your friend is HILARIOUS hoping to get healthy food at a roach coach! and i love the dude's sly amused face peeking through. secondly, that is AMAZING that this bar has a real oldtime photo booth, i hate that mostly they're all digital now (SOOOOO boring) and thirdly, i can't wait to see the adventures you and your bro have. it is so much fun having brothers over 21 to do fun stuff with! i loved this post...so much fun stuff to it and your girlfriends are lovely.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! You always have the happiest posts!
