Expensive drinks and meals with recruiting; Sabrina's birthday; house party
3/19
Another recruiting dinner at school, followed by more free drinks at the Volcano. I don't know why I didn't think about going to an expensive bar on somebody else's tab sooner.
3/20
We had one recruit who ended up staying an extra day, and Merry-Lynn and I were asked to take him to dinner. Since it was only a few of us, I figured it was a good time to go somewhere nice, and selected Benjy's, which I had wanted to go to for a long time, but due to the expense had never actually done so.
It was nice, and had good service. I was most impressed with the appetizer we ordered, tuna steak spring rolls. My steak was enjoyable, as steak always is, but unremarkable. I'd probably try to order something more adventurous if I went there again.
3/23
In celebration of her birthday, Sabrina got a group together to go to Lupe Tortilla. After struggling through the throngs of children that had infected the place, and wandering around its maze-like interior, we eventually found Sab & co. at (where else?) the bar, and so started in on margaritas.
Dinner was good; they had pretty good fajitas. The menu seemed to be making fun of Mexican accents, which struck me as odd.
After that, we moved to Absinthe, down Richmond from the Proletariat. The interior was nice; the bar itself hard little to recommend itself and the crowd seemed fairly midtown. A nice time was had, and perhaps the bar would be appropriate to return to for certain situations, but it's not somewhere I see myself going often.
I do remember there was a beautiful car in the parking lot, though. Either a Ferrari or a Lambo; I can't remember and I don't really pay much attention to car models that I'm very unlikely to every be in the market for. But it was beautiful.
3/24
Dan had lined up a house party for us in a neighborhood near me. It was a benefit for someone; maybe medical bills? I dropped a ten and sort of forgot. Seemed like a fair exchange for access to the keg. It was a pretty cool house, and a pretty cool neighborhood, and a pretty cool party. Thumbs up all around. And Cindy drove so I cut loose a bit. Also cool.
I want to go to more house parties. Maybe I need more friends with houses.
3/25
I continued my 24 DVD addiction, something which would soon fall by the wayside, despite the fact that I have a couple seasons to go, at least.
