This weekend, my friend Phil came to visit. He was my roomate sophmore year of college, but he finished here in PA at Penn State. Having visitors is always hard because you (well, if you're me) want to show them a good time and how awesome Pittsburgh. One of the things that I have to mention is that Phil is 6'11", which is something that, if you were lucky enough to meet him this weekend, you no doubt figured out.
So the whole weekend actually started before Phil got here. I was watching the door at one of the Dec5 Friday happy hour things, which was pretty fun. I always enjoy checking out the different IDs and trying to explain people how they don't have to drink, but if they want to they need to show me some proof of age.
I had some good beers that I had never had before:
- Dogfish Head Aprihop; A hoppy beer with an apricot flavor.
- Victory Storm King Stout; A stout (i.e. not my favorite kind) but a decent one.
I joined Emily at one of her friend's house for a celibration of venison. If you're a meat eater, I highly recommend smoked Venison, or at least this smoked venison. It was somehow amazingly juicy and delicious! Had some interesting discussions about Minnesota (I found out that Kirby Pucket died... sad.) and New Orleans.
Finally, when Phil got here (around 11, for a roughly 5 hour drive) we hung out at my place with George and Owen and enjoyed some Ali G. All in a good night!
Update!
Wow, how could I have dropped the ball on such a phenominal scale? Not too long after George and Owen came over Suze and Zoie paid us a visit on return from the Southern Side. We continued the good times with our friend Ali G, they brought pizza with them and made us all jealous, and then we ended up watching TV until almost 3 or so. Good times all around.
Are you ashamed to be friends with lovely east end ladies? If I recall correctly (and I always do), two of the finest stopped by Saturday night to check out the boys and the Ali G.

ReplyDeleteYes, I shall fix this error post-haste!
This is why I shouldn't write these long entries: By the time I get to the end, I'm just trying to finish it off as quickly as possible without regard to facts or style!
Please keep in mind that style is always more important than substance, in case you ever only have space for one. :)
