Had some fun with my Deepsea at lunch with co-workers today!

[Whiskey]

Out of thanks for all the hard work and overtime we had been doing this past year, the assistant VP to our group asked to take us all out to lunch on the company's tab. One guy in our group heard of this restaurant called "O'Noir". Their theme is that you eat dinner/lunch in total pitch-black darkness and the servers/waiters are visually impared!!!! Apparently these restaurants are found all over the world. I'd never heard of it till it was brought up that a bunch of the girls heard about it and wanted to try it out.

Well, we had that lunch today. It was great! Lot's of fun and yes you really do eat dinner in total darkness.

The restaurant was located in the basement of a building not far from where I work. As it's in the basement of the building, there are no windows and no light can get in unless it's from a bulb.

We came in to the restaurant as a group of 15. The way it works is you order your food in the lounge area where there is light. Then you are introduced to the visually impaired waiter. The seating arrangements were 8 people to a table, so what they did was form us into two groups and arrange us into a line. You then put your right hand on the shoulder of the person in front of you, and all of you are led by the waiter into the first darkroom. Once the door closes behind you and the light disappears, the diningroom door is openned and you're led in as a human chain. IT'S PITCH BLACK!!!! You're all lead to the table and carefully seated.

Cellphones, Blackberry's, flashlights and anything else that can be used as a light source is STRICTLY forbidden.

I thought I was s$% out of luck before I realized once I sat down that the lume in my good ole trusty DEEPSEA was glowing brilliantly in the dark

It didn't take long before everyone else noticed it. The lume is fantastic! Although I couldn't see exactly what I was eating, with the glow of the lume I could see the plate, napkin, silverware, drink, etc etc etc. Yeah, I know the watch probably detracted from me getting the full experience, but it was some what a relief as sitting in the dark you feel so isolated, even with people sitting right next to you. Other's were laughing at me and the cutie that's been chasing me around the office lately and was sitting next to me at this shinding was quite relieved that there was some small source of light in all that blackness. She mentioned that sometimes she can only get to sleep at night with the glow of the tv screen in her bedroom, so the Deepsea was like a nice "night-light".

I had one girl tell me I should consider turning it off, but I told her it was a luminova-dial and it couldn't be turned off.

I was worried someone was going to ask what kind of watch I had on that could glow like that as it would be uncomfortable to say it was a Rolex. No one mentioned it and I think that's because they already knew what the answer was.

Anyways, it was a great experience and if you get a chance to eat dinner in the dark, I advise you try it out..................Oh and bring your Rolex along to.

Who said the Deepsea was only good for diving!
