I figure I better go ahead and write this now, or I won't get to it until Sunday morning.
I was going to go to Burger King before I went to the bar, but some asshole had my parking space so I went to Wendy's instead.
After that, I went to Rich O's.
It was one of those calm and quiet nights that I love but the bartenders hate. All of the cool people must have been at some party as LaptopGirl and I used to say.
UplandWheatDude was sitting on the throne talking with some strangers who were sitting at the bar and the kiddie table. There were some PBDs, including GlassesGirl and MusicalHippyDude, sitting at the island. A few more strangers were scattered around, and that was it.
I loved it.
I had myself a Founder's Red Rye (120) and just kind of vegged out for an hour or so. I did try to call SassyGirl but I got her voicemail so I figured she was working.
Once the strangers at the bar and kiddie table left, I talked with UplandWheatDude for a couple of hours, mainly about women and how weird they all are, but we also discussed a couple of the PBDs that have, apparently been hounding him about LaptopGirl just as they used to hound me. So, while I used to think that their obsession was with the concept of LaptopGirl and me as a couple, now I think that it's just LaptopGirl that they're obsessed with.
I know the feeling.
My second beer was a yummy Delirium Tremens (481).
I made sure to tell UplandWheatDude about DaveFest. He's been quite erratic with his Rich O's visitations lately and I might not see him again before June.
Near the end of the night I found myself sitting alone on the throne, but I wasn't ready to leave yet, so I had myself a Guinness (1217). I talked with FutureDude for a while since he was waiting for DooRagGirl to come and pick him up.
I was going to go to White Castle, but I completely forgot to do that, so I just came straight home.
What are the exact dates of Davefest?

Ivanna: Professional Beer Drinker. Just my term for some of the more beer-snobby regulars at Rich O's. Most are members of a homebrewing club.

Dina: Starts June 2 unless the Rogue Chocolate Stout is going to me more than a few days late. Otherwise it will start when Rogue Chocolate Stout arrives. Either way it will run until the Kegs are gone. Probably at least a week or so.
