It was my friend's birthday two days ago, so tonight we all went out to celebrate. A group of us left work together, and when we got off the subway 15 minutes later it was absolutely POURING. The kind of downpour where you could be in a bubble of plastic and still get wet. We huddled in an apartment alcove for a few minutes before deciding the rain wasn't going to die down anytime soon. We made a run for it, getting drenched despite our umbrellas. We must have been a sight, running down the street in the rain, screaming. The bar was a good place for a party, we had the upstairs to ourselves.
