Ok, so Friday I met up with a friend for happy hour at Grizzly Peak. From there we headed over to the Blue Nile for dinner. Neither of had ever been there and I really had no idea what to expect from Etheopian food, but it was so, so good! I'd definitely go there again. After that we went to see the Kinsey Report at the Ark. I'd never been to the Ark before and I'm hardly an expert on blues, but it was really cool. Each of the band members was an awesome musician on his own but then you put them all together and...well, wow. I don't think I was "ark-y" enough though, majority of the audience seemed like aging hippies and, really, exactly the sort of people you think would hang out at the Ark. After that we went over to the Alley Bar and I probably drank too many cosmos, but such is life.
Spent a good part of Saturday recovering only to go out again to celebrate husband's b-day. We met up at Arbor Brewery, waited for an hour and a half to get a table (not too many tables that can accomodate 11 people there) and finally got to eat around 9ish. It was a little weird because there were moments where I really noticed the "couple-y-ness" of everyone. A few of the people there were with their husband or wife. There were a few boyfriend/girfriend pairs and then there were three of us single folks. Needless to say, I was in the minority. Luckily none of the couples are the type that make a singleton want to shoot themselves in the head, but I couldn't help but notice it now and then. Probably doesn't help that I'm older than them all, but oh well. Luckily a guy friend of mine showed up around 9:30ish, so that was definitely a good thing. Let's see, after dinner some of us went over to the Alley Bar (hmm, notice a trend here? You'd think it was the only bar in A2), continued the drinking and revelry. We lost a few more of our group and the evening ended with a few of us heading over to the Fleetwood for fried food and copious amounts of coffee. Weirdly enough, I got kicked out of the Fleetwood for the second time in a week, not for bad behavior (I wonder exactly how bad or nuts you'd have to be to get kicked out of the Fleetwood for that) but basically because the place is so tiny and they need to keep making room for all the drunken folks coming from the bars.
Thank god I had today off otherwise I think I'd be pretty dead. Again, it was totally worth it. As for next weekend? I'm seeing Hard-Fi on Saturday and probably trying to get ahead on homework (the last part isn't too fun).
Oh and just because it's funny, here's a photo from Saturday night at Arbor. You've heard of wine and cheese? Logical combo. Not so much this:Beer and cheese? Ew, ew, ew. There's a good reason why that doesn't spring to mind as a mouth-watering combination.
Right, that's it for now-
Ciao,
Sasha
