Where? Backstreet Blues, Rockville Centre NY

John and I met at my little sister's birthday. It was held in a basement "blue's" bar in Rockville Center. We spent the night chit chatting about nothing. The next day John left for Amsterdam for a week. He had given me his number to call him when I moved up to Albany (he lived there and I was moving in 2 weeks).

I moved up to Albany without speaking to John again. My first night up there I called him and we went out to my sister's for a night of games and drinking. The rest is history.
