In honor of our favorite robot, RobotGoBen, we ended up at Carmelita's to celebrate his birthday. Everyone under the sun with a party of 10 or more was there that night. Holy crap it was crowded, even with reservations.

Finally got seated at a long table back by the bar area. I picked up a Cadillac Margarita for the birthday boy at the bar, and I have to say, they were kinda average. And for $9 each, I wasn't impressed. They was quite a bit of tequila in them, just kind of bland.

The salsa here is great, and I personally made my way through at least four bowls. A lot of folks ended up with green enchiladas, and they were fantabulous! Everyone else seemed happy with their food.

Sluggy, even though she wasn't there, sent along a gorgeous set of cupcakes. They looked like Cookie Monster with a cookie in his mouth...all slathered in blue coconut icing. They were awesome!

Caddie showed up again since she was in town before her trip to LA. She asked Bumpy if he was planning on making banana daiquiris at Sea Ranch... what? So then the story comes out that Shim drink his banana daiquiri way through Florida. Let the girly jokes begin! There was lots of texting between Crabby & Shim, with the best one being, "What kind of umbrella do you take with your tampon." - Crabby

Then, when trying to scribe that incident, Bump asked how to spell tampon, but wanted to spell it tampoon. Tampoons were then explained to be giant absorbent harpoons on catamarans.
