Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend, well maybe a bit less tired. Friday’s scare of Hurricane Earl was nothing to write home about, some rain and in Worcester barely any rain. I was dead tired from the late Thursday night but was still dragged out to Nick’s for a couple beers to catch up with my dear Sarah and then chill with Stephen for a bit.
Saturday morning arose and was a bum for a long as possible if being a bum includes running some errands, finally cleaning out my car since I bought it, then cooking 4 lbs of pasta salad for Liz’s Birthday Party in the Parking Lot.. Headed to Institute Park for the 1st Annual Open Road Music & Arts Festival. I will say I believe it was a bit overpriced for a 1st year. Day of show tickets were $20.00 and that in my mind is steep for what a person is getting. The cost of Tweed River was $50.00 for whole weekend including camping from Friday to Monday.
After a whole afternoon in the sun and a bit of a weird sunburn headed home to freshen up and head to party #1 of the evening at Liz’s, which was a good time along with Stu’s (Dr. Gonzos) cocktail of the evening. Kelly, Jenny and John and I all headed to Monika’s party which included LOTS of booze, a Moon Bounce and an Ice Drinking Louge. I have to say the Polish folk sure know how to have a good time. By the time we got there we were all pretty beat, a long day it had been.
Sunday my only real plan was Emily and Keith’s Labor Day Cookout and Beer Extravaganza, Keith being the best home brewer I have know it is always a good time. 9 hours of food, fire and tasting of beers made for another tired evening. I love that Keith takes risk with beers, an amazing sour, a coconut porter and a double IPA all made for great beers on a Sunday.
Yesterday I had plans with this fellow Brian who lives in Boston, I took my bike to the city with me and we decided on a picnic in the park. It was around 20 miles of riding which today I am feeling a great deal. Followed by rewarding ourselves with beer and food at the Penguin Pizza , which I have to say has a pretty amazing beer selection and damn good food. The amazing day for a long ride and good beer was followed by Knit and Bitch with the gals, which really is a time to catch up and chat..
Came into work today on this fine Tuesday more than ready to take on the world..
Signing off for the Day- Potsy
