Happy Night

Last Friday, Alvin organized a happy hour for the work crowd and their friends. Unlike many of these happy hours, this one actually left the vicinity of work, at least after stop one. From Kate's Pub in Wallingford, across I-5 from the UDistrict, we headed up to Chapel on Capital Hill. They have an awesome drink menu, which is something I have a great appreciation for. I had a Bruce Lee: sake, cranberry and orange juice. Very nice.

Afterward, the group split up a bit. One group said they were going to the Voo Doo Lounge, so that is where I wound up, although the folks who suggested it bailed. Another group went to a bar where they were thrown out because one of their party passed out on the bathroom floor. Part of that group wound up joining those of us at Bimbo's, the restaurant above the Voo Doo Lounge.

The best part of the evening, however, happened after the lights came up. The six of us climbed into Daniel's car and raced to West Seattle so half of the group could catch the 2:15 ferry to Vashon Island. I was navigator, so I got to sit in front, while the other four squeezed into the backseat. Insane moments like these are generally a thing of the past once you are out of school. It was nice to have one now. We did make it to the ferry dock at 2:07. A happy night all around.
