Oops, it's almost the weekend again
I don't want to forget the recap.
Thursday: magnolienbaum was in town from NYC for his roomie's show at the Crocodile. We walked in the sunshine down to Mama's for dinner, then Shorty's for a drink, and then onto the Croc for the show. It was fabulous to see him and catch up and it turns out his roommate's band is AMAZING. Totally glad I picked up their CD. I also ran into an old acquaintance at the show and enjoyed playing catch-up with her.
Friday: Dinner at Mama's, drinks at Shorty's. Again. This time for Erin C.'s birthday. It was... interesting. I was actually vaguely foul-tempered about it at the start, but worried it would look weird if I just bailed mid-meal; I ended up having somewhat better of a time, gossiping with the girls and whatnot. And I do so love Shorty's.
Saturday: Dinner party at Maureen's. Her apartment is incredible. Box beams, crown molding AND wainscoting. I could die. And she's a good cook, too! We didn't stay too late; I was home by 11. I was supposed to go out to meet an old friend who was in town from Chicago but he and his pals kept going to bars I hate so I never did make it back out.
Sunday: Woke up bright and early thanks to staying in the night before. Made breakfast then hopped a bus to the U District for the Street Fair. Met up with Annie on the bus, and Aaron and Patty once we arrived. Ran into Maggie Roberts who instantly made me feel about 10 times better about going back to school and figuring my shit out. God, I have SO much to thank that woman for. Also finally ended up running into Jay Baldridge; he met up with us at Kai's and we did photos and hugs and gossip, which was fun. Kip also met us there; he was looking handsome. The St.Js and I then headed back to Ballard to bbq. We played a fantastic game of Wisest Wizard (Peter's was as tall as he is) and the ladies who were playing even did a boss fight. I need to remember to stop pretending like weeknights are weekends because Monday was ouchy.
Oh, and we won first place at trivia on Tuesday for the first time in a zillion years! That was unexpected and awesome. And last night, I went to trivia at Georgetown Liquor Company. It was a little too low-key for my taste but I might be kind of in love with the bar, generally speaking.
