11 guys, 2 girls
Sep. 5th, 2004 08:55 pmBunch of handsome, charming men? That's my idea of a party!
Just got back from Chris's birthday dinner at The People's Pub.
This is the second time I've hung out with Jeff's crowd and it was just as wonderful as the first time. A really terrific group of guys, some who I'd met before (Craig, Greg, and Bryan). I was also finally able to meet the adorable Stan and Dan.
I slunk in a few minutes late because I was pet-sitting for Ellie and Jeff, and the doggies needed a little extra love. I waved at everyone and pulled up a chair next to Craig. Jeff came over to give me a welcome hug and to make sure I was going to be okay sitting so far away from him. He's such a good guy. But he had nothing to worry about, his friends were so incredibly welcoming and sweet, I had a fantastic time. We share a love of movies, restaurants, and comic books. We talked about Neil Gaiman's 1602 which I still freaking need to read.
We ate deep fried pickles and spaetzle and other solid German fare. The service was great, via a sweet, gap-toothed waitress who managed to get all of our orders right (not easy for a table of thirteen). I'm not the biggest fan of German food, but it was very tasty. I even ate and enjoyed the red cabbage.
Afterwards, I snuck Chris his gift--the first three issues of Fray. He loves Buffy and comic books...and Jeff confirmed he didn't have 'em. I hope he likes them.
Back home to a vocal Hobbes. He insisted on being fed. Trouble is, I'm scheduling his medicine at 9:30, both to span 12 hours from the morning dose and, I'm not always going to be home early. Shit, maybe I should dose him between noon and midnight. I'm usually here at those hours. It's rare I'm out later than 1. God, I feel old admitting that. Anyhow, I don't think he'd tolerate meals at those times. Oh well.
( Today's been a weird day. )
