Weekend Recap...
Lots to report but since I missed my deadline last week (though I thankfully received an extension) I haven't had time to really blog about it. First up, Jorge turned 31 on Sunday and we spent Saturday doing the bar crawl in his hood, North Park.
The first stop was a cool microbrew bar called Toronado. Right as I came in I realized that I didn't recognize a single beer in the display fridge behind the bar. The sheer variety of them was a little bit intimidating. But with some friendly bartender help we were all able to select a brew that best matched our preferences. Well all except Jiyon who requested a beer that was "low in calories but high in alcohol content." According to the bartender, such a thing doesn't exist. LOL.
Next up was a small bar/club called The Office. It was basically pitch black in there with some where soap opera playing on the flat screen behind the bar. But it had two big things working in its favor. Dirt cheap drinks and really good old school hip hop. There was also this eerie and slightly distrubing life size cut out of Barack Obama in the corner. Not sure what to make of that.
The final stop of our bar crawl was a club who's escapes me at the moment. By then I was fairly inebriated, though not as much as Jorge or Kyle (who actually freestyled his way into the club). After a few beers and songs, we headed back to Jorge's for some late night Mexican. The drive home was longer than I remembered. It was times like that one that make me miss living in downtown.
On Sunday, Chinese New Years, we all met back up at Van Hoa's for some post-drinking pho. Good company and good food. Can't really ask for more. Even got a bun boa to go. Spent the rest of Sunday recouping. Though later on, Jon came by to burn some CDs and let me know that he had given Steve his 30 day notice to move out, but more on that later. I should probably get back to work.
