MOTM - April 17, 2008

So the Belmont was having a big fashion show of some variety. The patio and the upstairs was cordoned off and I was relegated to the funky dark bar inside.
As I sipped my Pacifico and did my best not to look like the old creepy guy at the bar (not successfully), I decided that no one else was going to show up. Luke was in Chicago, ABerry and Christa were in Fayettenam, J-Spot had told me she was going to a thing for her sister's children that had something to do with "Star Trek - The Wrath of Khan", Steph's clients kept getting in her way and it was almost 6 pm. Amanda wasn't there either but I have inadvertently omitted reference to her before, so a big shout out to Amanda, where ever you were.
So I walked out and almost ran over G-Low, who had chosen to spend time at MOTM before he proceeded to a couple of other bar splinter groups' functions. By the time we had finished our next drink, Lone Star Todd, Ryan and the ever lovely Tiana had appeared. Lone Star Todd tried to break away from his prior addiction but even though he specifically ordered something other than Lone Star, the Belmont refused to allow him to change and continued to bring him Lone Star. Some things you just can't change, I guess.
Making a debut appearance was Karl, my very good friend from my time with CSC. Karl added some much needed panache and sophistication to the group. Then Stuart showed up and we averaged out again.
We discussed moving MOTM. From the discussion last night and some of the comments to earlier posts, there was an overwhelming consensus to try 219 West next week. In this case, an overwhelming consensus means at least two people mentioned it. Paul Bunyan, in his comment to a previous post, while setting a new MOTM blog record for puns in a post, had some good suggestions, but we completely ignored them. I'm sure we'll revisit this issue again, if 219 West doesn't work out or when we tire of their appetizers. It's not like there's a dearth of bars in the area. We'll try Thursday night again, although looking at their website weekly lineup, some other night might be preferable, but it's Thursday night next week.
I'll try to put out other posts and notify other people of the site change, but spread the word.

Some random pictures:




Peace. Out.
