We had a nice weekend with DarkSol (Ian).
He arrived Friday evening around 6PM, the drive up from VA took him about 6 hours. After chilling out for a bit we all piled into the Civic and went over to Sly Fox for dinner. Ian isn’t much of a drinker, so after a bottle of pilsner at home and a pint of Route 113 IPA at Sly Fox he was pretty much done for the night. We got our growlers filled and went home to watch some MST3K, I ended up going to bed around 10 (I’m and old lady).
Saturday morning Michael made a delicious rosemary French Toast breakfast, and we spent most of the day just hanging out in the computer room, talking and working on our computers. In the evening we went out to Ortinos Northside for some food and beers, I was dying to have some of the Delirium Tremens (my FAVORITE beer!) that they had just tapped. We weren’t disappointed, the food and the beers were delicious, Ian even got to try a lambic. When we returned home we sat out back around the fire pit for a couple hours.
At 10 that night Michael and Ian did a join radio show on AKA Radio. I stayed up for some of it, but ended up hitting the sack around 11:30.
Sunday was similarly low-key, Ian and Michael slept in past 10. We actually woke Ian up (we’re terrible hosts) to offer him some breakfast around 10:30 – he had a bit of a hangover, oops! But not surprising, since he had at least 5 reasonably high alcohol content beers Saturday night, quite a bit for someone who doesn’t normally drink.
Instead of going home Sunday evening, we insisted that he spend the night again and leave on Monday morning. The picture below was taken Sunday afternoon, I wanted to get a better one after I saw Caligula’s glowing eyes in this one, but the boys loved it too much.
So the only sights he saw were of some great PA beers, but I think a nice relaxing weekend was what we all needed.
