would be a good day to do nothing. That's when I got a call from
camille. She and chris were in town visiting some of his pals and were
up for an afternoon adventure. And by adventure I mean beers and
records.
Naturally we obliged. First up was amoeba, Camille was smart enough to
purchase the socialliving deal so she had some bonus credit there. Me,
I was just there to waste some money. I got a yo la tengo clearance
bin score and some other gems, so it was time well spent. Afterwards
we indulged chris's love for beer by taking them to monk's kettle. He
was worried that they wouldn't have what he was looking for, but they
did and more. Chris introduced us to Russian river's consecration and
man was that delicious. We also ordered up the charcuterie plate,
fries, and the big softie pretzel. Fun and good eats had by all, even
if the place is serious about beer. So serious, the waiter even did
some fancy bottle manuevering before pouring my beer.
When beers had been downed and all food polished off we stepped
outside to say our farewells. That's when Camille noticed that the
billboard across the street was home to an original jay Howell. Jay is
an old mutual pal of ours (although I don't know him that well) and
Camille thought it would be a good backdrop for us to smize in front
of. I think she made an excellent call. Smize! So great to see you
both, thanks for the fun afternoon!
