Bryan's visit
6/29
Something I've learned: when you don't have actual vacation days, you have no reason not to a) stretch the days you're going to be gone on either end and b) just be generally vague. So it was that I had a day off in time for Bryan to come into town.
He, Sabrina and I hit up Reggae hut for lunch (I think there were some bad "Jamaican" puns made, and jokes about a nearby funeral home). Food was great, as always. After that, we went and saw Evan Almighty, although I don't know why, because it was pretty bad.
The entire day, I was resisting the impulse to jump in line for an iPhone. Instead, we headed back to my place for some Wii.
We met up with our respective better halves for some Star pizza that evening, and then hit the Davenport for some fancy martinis. We capped the night with a traditional night swim at Sabrina's apartment complex. With alcohol.
6/30
Bryan and I hung around my place and played some Wii before hitting Central Market for dinner ingredients. We got an artichoke, and made Bryan's famous tomatillo chicken tacos.
After that, show at the Proletariat: Voxtrot. It was filled to capacity when we showed up, but in half an hour, enough of the jaded hipsters got bored that we were able to get in. The band kind of got screwed; didn't go on until after 1:00 and played only a short set. Good show regardless.
7/1
Bryan and I decided to catch Ratatouille Sunday afternoon (great flick), before having Indian food for dinner at Khyber. I always enjoy Khyber when I go; it's a little pricey but it was a good meal.
