i am a moron. what my mom would call une espece d'idiot

so, last month, i found out that Rock Bottom was having a St Patrick's Day Brewery Dinner. and since i love this restaurant, and i am always a fan of any meal that comes with prepaid alcohol, i enlisted a group of my friends and we made a reservation for the maximum amount :6

i even took the day after the dinner off because i figured after 5 beers (and the 5 cocktails neccessary to down those 5 beers) i would need at least one day off before the weekend so i could go back out and do it all again.

and i was really looking forward too it! i even have a cute St Patrick's day outfit!

so Una from Rock Bottom calls to confirm my reservation, and i confirm, and she tells me how popular it has become and there is actually a WAITING list to get a reservation! and then as we are getting of the phone she says "see you tomorrow!"

say what!?

"wait wait wait!" i say. "i thought this dinner was on St Patrick's Day!? " hence the catchy title
St. Patrick's Day Brewery Dinner. "oh no" she replies "it's tomorrow...so do you still need those reservations?" i paused...because i don't know who is free tomorrow night, i think Jenny has class, and I thought Adam had something going on and i don't know if Jeannie's fiancee Chris is working or not... and i don't want to say yes and keep the reservation and then have to cancel tomorrow which is really uncouth since there is a waiting list. "well? i really need to know now" Una asked (you know this was probably the beeyotch who asked me if i was cold that night!). so i cancelled.

but i really did think that the dinner was on thursday and not tomorrow night! who has a St Patrick's Day dinner NOT on St. Patrick's Day!!

and now i feel like i ruined everyone's St Patricks' Day plans!

and all we wanted to do was eat something boiled and drink some green beer (and a green martini)!

i = a dolt.

You're not the problem, dear. Rock Bottom did the same thing here and the date on the sign was so small you'd need a microscope to see the damn thing.

I do that all the time- forget to read the fine print. SO my dear it is not your fault it is entirely the restaurants for their lack of common sense when titling their special events!
