Mood: celebratory
Topic: Just Fun
The Evite invitation for yesterday read as follows:
COME ONE COME ALL... BRING YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS, and even insignificant ones if you must.
No presents or cards are expected. Your attendence is the gift that keeps on giving (especially if you buy me a drink).
In celebration of the start of my 4th palindrome birthday (think about it), I'm going to be doing an all day and into the night bar and restaurant crawl, and you're invited!
The location listed is the official time and starting point, but there'll be more going on! You're welcome to show up at ANY portion of it.
11 a.m. pre-party face stuffing at Ti Couz Brittany Creperie at 3108 16th Street (at Valencia). Yummy crepes...and probably coffee over on Market Street afterwards. Call to see where we are.
OFFICIAL START
2-4 p.m. Beer and/or other bevs at the Park Chalet (www.beachchalet.com), mere inches (ok hundreds of feet) from the mighty Pacific!NOTE the Park Chalet is in the BACK behind the Beach Chalet.
4-6 p.m. Food and T E Q U I L A (note the emphasis) at the incomparably tequilariffic Tommy's Mexican Restaurant (www.tommystequila.com), at 5929 Geary Blvd. These are the BEST margaritas you will find for hundreds of miles. Forget those stories you all tell about bad tequila experiences in college...this ain't that shit.
7 p.m. (we'll never make it out of Tommy's on time): Ice cream or other dessertage at Toy Boat Dessert Cafe (www.toyboatcafe.com) at 401 Clement St .
If you're showing up after this, CALL to find out where we are!
7:30ish. If more beer is needed, we can stroll over to one of the local bars , all of which actually ARE walking distance!
After that...we WING IT! Call to find out where we've ended up!23 people showed up at various points, with the highest number making it for dinner at Tommy's, where 18 attended and 2 showed up just before we left for the final destination.
