suzi and i went to a hole in the wall bar in our new neighborhood last night for the first time. it is awesome.
the bartender/owner is this older woman. she works there by herself. when we got our first drink, she poured out a bowl of pretzels and said here, have some pretzels! ok, thanks. then she asked if we wanted any chips, but we didn't. we went and sat down, and about 15 minutes later, she yelled to the whole bar "anybody want a hot dog?"... most people looked a little uncomfortable and said no. "i have hot dogs here. i could make some if anyone wants one!" but nobody did. then we each had another beer, and as soon as we sat down, she microwaved 3 bags of popcorn and split it up into bowls and gave some to every group at the bar. "here kids, have some popcorn!" she called us kids. after we ate our popcorn, we left.
it was pretty amazing. i imagine it's like what going over my mom's house for drinks would be like. "anybody want a hot dog?" is a great thing to yell out in a bar.
goin shopping for desks today, and i'm hanging up the tv too. if both are successful, then the only things left to be done in the new place will be finding a cabinet to put robots in, and running speaker cable to the rears (waiting for fun new cable hider for that, it comes wednesday).
