Night Kitchen
I had been planning on going to the Vanguard Party last night, but kehrli contacted me, talking about going to The Night Kitchen* to use the internet (which, in his current, recently moved state, he lacks). I've wanted to check this place out for a while now, so I figured I'd go, but it would probably be loud and crowded (it being a Saturday night) and so after an hour or two, I'd leave and go to the party. However, the place had just opened for the evening, wasn't crowded at all, and had the perfect atmosphere for going over my critiques from the recent retreat.
So we stuck around till 10:30, munching on sweet potato fries, black bean hummus and garlic naan. I failed in my goal to make new friends**, but I did establish a new hangout, got some work done, and had some quality friend time with kehrli, which I really can't get enough of.
*The Night Kitchen is a local restaurant that's open from 6pm to 9am.
**Wait, that's not true! When I arrived, two people I know happened to be there already, and they introduced me to their friend, who they were eating with. I also take the presence of friends to be a good omen for my future with The Night Kitchen, since I'm looking for a Black Drop replacement, and that requires an establishment that always has someone I know in it.
