Good Food and Friends

Saturday night we ignored all the warnings about driving around in Seattle's Blizzard of '08 and went out to celebrate Adrien's 29th birthday at Crush. The food was amazing—finally had the chance to enjoy fois gras as it was meant to be— dinner with friends is always good, and driving a front wheel drive car with no chains in ice and snow made for a very interesting (rallycross anyone?) ride home.

Going Out

I tend to be a homebody on days off, but for some reason this weekend I felt compelled to go out and actually be social (a little). Maybe it's all the hours I've been putting in at the store and at the office...

Friday night after a good meeting at the shop, Adrien and I met up with Kevin and Jonathan at Umi to have dinner and catch up.



  



Saturday night, Tara and I went over to Corey and Lauren's house for Corey's birthday. They've got quite the set up of instruments and amazingly, practically everyone in the interactive team at Hornall Anderson knew how to play something (except me). I can not believe how many musicians I work with! Not only can they design and develop your website, they can do the soundtrack too...

Corey plays with Matt, another one of my coworkers, in a band called The Fading Collection. Go see them if you get a chance.

Birthday Boy!

Yesterday Rand turned 30 dog years old, which is 3 normal years. Happy Birthday Pup!

Kevin's Birthday

Saturday night Tara and I went over to Kevin's house for a major feast! He must of spent the entire day preparing food for a hot pot dinner. If you've never had hot pot before, think of it as Asian fondue. Raw meat, seafood and vegetables are cooked in pots of broth boiling right at the dinner table. Everyone gets to mix their own dipping sauces using an assortment of chili bean paste, soy sauce, green onions, seasame oil, and a bunch of other stuff.
