THE COOL
1. Drinking the inaugural Summit Amber Ale from the consuite keg.
2. The unspeakable, compelling weirdness of Katamari Damacy.
3. Saunaaaaaaaaah.
4. Talking with
7thstranger about ComedySportz.
5. Talking with
jmanna about horses.
6. Talking with
moneygod,
jklumpp and
weasel_king about cats and dogs.
7. Games of Salad Bowl. Even the one where my team got skunked 2 to 1.
8. Log Jams. (These appetizers that are kind of a northern Wisconsin variant on mozarella sticks. They're whole pieces of string cheese wrapped in a wonton wrapper and fried. Surprizingly good, if cholesteroliffic.)
9. Roadkill's mango salsa.
10. Roadkill more or less putting me in a headlock and forcing a shot of tequila on me.
11. A rousing game of Pit with Jklumpp, Weasel_King,
ethel,
musichad, and Lisa. Y'know, the exclamation "who the fuck had my barley?" really shouldn't be that funny.
12.
andrewthescot's scorpion-like mohawk,
dramatekcv's geodesic do, and Jklumpp's Seussian beehive.
THE NOT SO COOL
1. Totally spacing out on
mattmn's showing of Little Britain.
2. Never cracked open the bottle of scotch I brought. I had hoped to arrange a mini-tasting with other scotch types, but I'm not really outgoing enough to make something like that happen.
3. None of the movies at the nearby theatre interested me.
4. Finishing a big game of Salad Bowl, getting all wound up and ready to do stuff, and finding out that everyone had gone to bed.
4. Sore palms from overenthusiastic Donkey Konga playing.
5. Some general not connecting with certain people.
6. Finding out that other friends' weekends were marred by work, illness, and drama.
In short, the good well outweighed the bad, and I want to go again.
