[livejournal.com profile] gdecamp03 was in town. [livejournal.com profile] revbrian, [livejournal.com profile] finickynarcane, and I had dinner at a brewery and pub with her. It was so great to spend time together again! I hadn't seen [livejournal.com profile] revbrian since his wedding last year and I hadn't seen [livejournal.com profile] gdecamp03 in much longer than that! We had a great visit, lots of good stories and laughing. For those of you who doubted the bullet in the head centrifuge story, [livejournal.com profile] revbrian was working at NASA when it happened and he remembers it.

Since the one house we could have gone to is in the middle of renovation, we stayed at the restaurant talking until 10pm. I think they wanted us to go. After we refused dessert, they ignored us. No offers of coffee, no refilling my root beer. In fact, they took my mug away when I emptied it the first time. I guess there are no refills when they brew it themselves. I highly recommend getting root beer at breweries, if you don't drink beer anyway. I've had it at three different brewery/pubs and YUM!

I had buffalo chicken pizza. Even though it was a "personal" pizza, I could only eat half. It was just as good last night for dinner as it was on Wednesday. Light and delicious!

The only downside to the place we went is they only have valet parking. I don't like other people driving my car. [livejournal.com profile] finickynarcane got her car before I did. Oddly, the valet couldn't get out of her car. He'd knocked the door handle off. Three valets searched for it. They finally found it in the parking lot somewhere. Sheesh! It had better be fixable!

Next time I go to this place, I'm parking somewhere else and walking.

Oh no! Where does the time go?? Later loves!

Actually, I've been having some trouble with the lights on my car, lately and was checking to see that they were all working. At least the ones I could see.

Ah! I thought you were worried about them crushing them. Did the door handle go back on OK?

Yup. Taking it off is part of the disassembly when you take the door apart. I've done that several times to that door for a couple of different reasons. The guy thought the knob was in the car somewhere. I wasn't leaving until we found it. Eventually I found it inside the car, put it back on and left. I only noticed because the guy let himself out using the outside release.

how RUDE of them....don't people know that good service brings people back ? increases their tips ? increases their overall business when you talk about how GREAT it was ? i'm always amazed at things like this.

joe LOVES root beer....every now and then he'll bite the bullet and get a "real" beer....frothy and dark are his favorites. have you tried "virgil's" root beers ? they sell them at markets.....(not grocery stores i don't think, but market-type places)....those are his favorites. it seems the more expensive, the better.

anyway....i'm glad you had a lovely time.

Virgils? I'm not sure. Eric keeps track of that. I'll have to ask him.

I'll definitely go back with Eric. The food is inexpensive and delicious. We'll park down the street and walk.

They didn't rush us at all. They just ignored us. We ignored them back. LOL We were there 3 hours!
