Of Cocktails and the Crucible

May 15, 2011 13:21

Friday night was the celebration of aaronjv's 40th with a bar crawl. Smaug deserves many thanks for acting as driver of the party-van. My memories are somewhat old and necessarily hazy, but such is what I recall...
( seems an awful lot of words for someone who doesn't remember much )

theatre, alcohol, lovecraft, la, friends

At Cole's, that was my Moscow Mule you tasted. :-) I crawled into bed shortly after 4am and woke unbidden around 7:20 Saturday morning. Meh. (Finally caught up on sleep last night.) Many thanks to Kevin for chaufering us and of course to Aaron for getting old and providing the opportunity. ;-)

Yeah, I too woke up after about 3 hours sleep. I took a quick look at the world and went back to the pillow for another 3 hours.

I tried, but my brain refused to go back to sleep. And then I had to get to the Deadwood game.

I'm with you on the preference for Max's gin fizz 'mistake' over the proper recipe.

I took the tiniest sip of the Brugal Siglo de Oro, and it was one of the best things I've ever tasted, ranks with my first taste of absinthe.

There was a LOT of eye candy at the Roosevelt, but even in my sober straightness I did notice the lucite soles of that woman, once I got my eyes down that far.

Thanks for coming, thanks to Kevin for driving (forgot to thank in the reply).

It's nice to be mostly off the clock for these places; I still have to cover the Spare Room.

Try to have a Last Tango at the Library, made by the head bartender, Matthew Biancaniello. He's my FB friend, and posts when he'll be behind the stick. I can almost guarantee that it won't be your favorite cocktail ever, but you won't ever taste anything like it. It's a strange sensation to have your tastebuds partying in three different houses, each with a different DJ playing different music, trying to out-loud each other.

Cheers!
