Continuing:
At that point an asian guy came up behind me and mumbled something about us needing to go inside but he seemed pretty official about it, and I wanted to leave anyway, so I grabbed Nate and Jamie and we went inside. We ran into Maribel and took her with us on the way out the door, now only missing Lily from our original group.
We amassed on the curb outside where we all kind of talked in a round about needing to find Lily until I finally just called her. She was still with her friends but they had left the club and were walking...I guess to their vehicle, I don't know, but when I asked if she wanted to stay with them she said she was heading back to us. Then we just sat on the curb and idle chit-chatted, interrupted once by Lily calling because she couldn't find us. She had somehow got the streets mixed up and was looking for us on the wrong street. She eventually got to us, though by that time everyone from inside the club was out on the street in front of it and it was a crowded mess of messes.
During the sitting around outside bit it when I first met Tay. I didn't see him in the club, but when he just came up and talked to Nate I just assumed it was another random conversation with a stranger. When Tay followed us down the street in our search for a cab, I knew that wasn't the case.
I thought finding a cab wouldn't be hard, and in actuality, we did find one fairly quickly, but they weren't covering downtown like you would think they would be around bar closing times. The six of us approached one van taxi and the driver said he could only hold four legally. There was some hemming and hawing from the boy about that, but we didn't have time to argue and Jamie told Nate and Tay to meet us at Nate's place.
And so we did. Lily left as soon as we got to Nate's place despite my reservations about her soberness, but I felt assured by her blunt Sagittarian-ness when she told me she knew herself and she was okay to drive. I left Nate's about thirty minutes later after he finally arrived. It was apparently difficult for the boys to find another cab to the apartment after we took the van taxi and another couple had taken the regular taxi that had stopped at the same time.
I was a bit buzzed still, but the awesomeness of where I live in the city versus where I work made it a straight shoot home and all was well.
