I consider the phrase (correct my English please):
"I met him in Moscow. At that night they were the Birthdays of a friend of his and so we decided to go to her party at 21:00".
First of all I totally forgot my English, The correct form is?: friend of mine/yours/his/hers/them .
How it would be in Russian the above expression?
Я встретил его в Москве. В тот вечер был день рождения его подруги и мы решили пойти на её вечеринку в 9 часов.Quote:

my/your/his/her/their friend = мой/твой/его/её/их друг
P.S. Antonio, don't hesitate, please answer my PM message, because it looks like I offended you. I would like to arrive at some conclusion. :)
100% American English:
"I met him in Moscow. That night, there was a birthday party of a friend of his so we decided to go to her party at 9 (21:00 is redundant because night was already specified)".
