This weekend, I made some new friends. Michelle is Joey's good
friend, and Mer has hung out with her several times and
told me that she's tons of fun and that I would love her. Michelle
and her boyfriend Aaron came to Athens on Saturday night and
I hung out with the gang. Mer was right! They're super fun!
First, Mer cooked dinner for us all. We had lamb patties in
pitas with yogurt cucumber mint sauce, orzo salad, and fresh
greens salad with strawberries. Then we went to Purple Chopstix
for a party. Ed, the owner, is the biggest Napoleon Dynamite
fan in town. He came up with this grand plan where he’s
going to have a party every Saturday night for 10 weeks. He’s
going to take videos at each party and then at the 10th party
he’s going to show the footage! Also, they’re loosely
Napoleon Dynamite-themed, so you can dress up if you want.
Then at the final party it’s going to be totally Napoleon
Dynamite-themed and he’s going to have a tot spread,
complete with fancy dipping sauces!
The party was fun. Ed made delicious sangria, and Moss made
ghetto mimosas (orange Mad Dog plus André Champagne).
Mmm! There was music, dancing, and even some cake. You can
view
a little movie of Moss dancing by clicking on the Dancing Moss
at right, but unfortunately, it’s
sideways. I’m still learning my new camera, okay?
We
didn’t stay out too late because everyone but Michelle
and I were going on a huge bike ride on Sunday. Instead of
the bike ride, Michelle and I hung out uptown. We went to Casa
for brunch and ended up meeting up with Moss and Ed. We were
at Casa for over three hours! It was Michelle’s first
time, which is always special. Then we got ice cream and hung
out
in the
sunshine before going back to Mer’s where we met up with
the tired bikers. They were also hungry bikers, and we all
ended up going to Casa for dinner! I got to have a Paw Paw
Wheat beer, my new FAVORITE. It’s from the Marietta Brewing
Company and it’s 9% alcohol. It tastes like a golden
ray of sunshine being poured into my throat! It is DELICIOUS.
After dinner, Michelle and Aaron had to go home, bringing the
fun visit to an end.
