Closed Fourth Of July!

I hope we won't disappoint too many of our guests out there, but we are going to take a break on Fourth of July and celebrate independence day with all of you.  

Also it is Mike & my 21st anniversary since we first started dating all those years ago!  We met in college at FSU.  We both used to go to this club called Late Night Library - their motto was, "if your mom calls, tell her you're at the library".  Which is funny because no one had cell phones back then.  (Man, I feel old!)  

Anyhoo, getting back to the fascinating story of us.  One night, Mike came up to me at Late Night Library and told me how we were in Psychology class together, but he had to drop that class because he got mono.  So, we had a nice conversation, but that was it.  He didn't ask for my number or anything.  My friends and I used to attract weird people who just wanted to talk to us because we looked like freaks, so that's what I thought it was.  I was disappointed, because he was cute, but, whatever.  

So, later on, I saw him at the student union, and he didn't remember my name.  Oh well, definitely not interested... 

Then we had a summer geology class together.  My friend and I sat next to him because he was the only person we knew in the class.  Honestly, he didn't seem thrilled about it.  This row of like 6 freshmen girls sat directly behind him.  I could tell they had a thing for him because they were always asking him questions.  Asking questions in Geology- Rocks for Jocks.  Right.  

Anyway, my friend and I had trouble paying attention, because it was boring.  We seemed to embarrass Mike, as he was so attentive in class and didn't really talk to us.  But we kept sitting next to him anyway.

Then, the Thursday before Fourth of July, which was July 2nd, we both went to Late Night Library.  My bff and I were leaving the next day to go home, as my sister was getting married on the Fourth of July.  So, Mike was actually talkative again.  He asked me what my favorite band was.  Without hesitation, I said, The Cure.  Then he started telling me how he was the Cure's biggest fan and he had seen all their Florida shows and whatnot.  So, we talked all night.  And then when he was leaving with his friends, he leaned in to kiss me, and apparently I attacked him and stuck my tongue down his throat.  Romantic, eh?  I wonder though, if I hadn't mauled him, maybe we wouldn't have gotten together?

So please join us at Hot & Soul on the days that we will be open - Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday in celebrating independence day by coming to our independent restaurant!
