It has been a good couple of days around here. The weekend kicked off with some post-work drinks with ladies from work. We went to a local Mexican restaurant and had some margaritas and caught the last half of the England vs. Algeria game. We then kept happy hour going at my apartment and Elvis was thrilled to have so many beautiful ladies around.
After seeing Corey and Ruby off, Mattie (of The Grimoire Reader) joined me for some Hendrick’s & tonics (my favorite gin). After grabbing another friend of ours, we headed to see Corey’s band play. It was a great show and always wonderful to hang out with Mattie.
Ruby – who I should mention is our wonderful neighbor and dear friend – and I began Saturday at Java Jive, a reliable stronghold in the Atlanta brunch scene that is conveniently right across the street. We then headed off to Manuel’s to catch the Cameroon vs. Denmark game. I was rooting for Cameroon and they played an awesome game but just couldn’t take Denmark down in the end. It was a super quick, fun watch and even better with a beer and friends. Unfortunately, this was the last time we will see our good buddy Brad for a little while as he is moving to NYC. Brooklyn, watch out! Brad is really into beer and has let me try his homebrews which are outstanding. We wish him the best but will miss him around here!
Corey and I dozed for a bit and then headed to see Holy Rollers. It was a pretty out-there coming-of-age story but entertaining nonetheless. We fell asleep rather early (9pm – we’re old people) and woke up this morning to a wiggly dog ready to go out and eat his breakfast. Corey just completed making us some incredibly good tofu tacos featuring his patented chipotle aioli. We are settling in for the Brazil vs. the Ivory Coast. Ole!
A lot of friends, a lot of food and a lot of World Cup. Not a bad weekend in the least!
