Friday night was a pretty delightfull night. Went up to boulder at 6pm to bottle beer. It was a very nice mellow brown ale we made 2 weeks ago. We were all there and bottling at 6 and done byt around 7ish.
Then, after a quick stop back by my place to let the dogs out, it was downtown to Buca Di Beppo for a birthday gathering for sgailean and other folks that have birthdays this week. There was a pretty nice group for dinner. Amazingly we managed to order just exactly the correct amount of food. Everything was eaten and everyone said they were full. Lots of wine, good conversation and dessert.
After dinner most folks went on a pub crawl/wander around downtown. We stopped at an "irish" pub, but it was very loud and everyone there was drinking buckets of corona. We decided to leave. Then, off to a russian vodka bar. We had a very nice time there. The crazed russian host got us a vodka menu and served us forthwith. The texas vodka that rise wanted was not too bad, the honey vodka was quite good, and the black rasberry was pretty understated. We had a nice time sitting on the patio and talking and drinking vodka. Around 12:30 I decided to wander home and get back to the dogs. All in all a very nice evening.
