Last Weekend
I haven't shared what I did last weekend. Time to do so seeing that the idea of getting any sleep tonight is completely shot. (what is it now... 5 o'clock am??)
Well, my friend Brian opened his new restaurant last week. I along with a few of cronies made the 8 hour sojourn up to Pittsburg. For some reason I thought that Pittsburg was only 5 hours away. Um, I was sorely mistaken. I didn't have a chance to take all that many pictures but here are a couple for your reading pleasure.
A - The van we rented to get to Pittsburg. Dodge Caravan. Blue. Awesome.
B - If you've ever been to a Moe's then you'll understand, "WELCOME TO MOE'S!!!!"
C - A phone conversation with an ex, very random.
D - I would later get to turn this neon sign: off. I'm still recovering from the excitement.
E - The balloon holding up this flag marquee would later manage to get lodged on the roof - possibly in the A/C system...
F - The dishroom. I would later get to spend a brief stint washing pots & pans. Voluntarily of course.
G - Requisite look of confusion on new employee's face.
H - Yummy Margarita mix.
I - Um, I forgot to put a "K" in. My alphabetizing skills are, at best, poor.
J - My friend David showing his support for the restaurant opening.
K - My friend David showing his lack of ability to adhere temporary tatoos.
L - My prize for dishwashing.
Overall it was great time. It's been a long and arduous road for my friend Brian and this restaurant opening. I've got an immense amount of respect that he pulled this together. From what I've seen - he's done well, and I'm sure he'll continue to do so. I however, have met my burrito quota for the rest of 2005.
p.s. No road trip in a rental van is complete without taking a picture of the speedometer at 100mph. (-wink- @ ya Chris B.)

I like what you did here - with the letters and pointing and such. Makes us amateur posters strive for bigger and better things.

to add to this adventure, not only where we going 100 MPH in a van, but we were going 100 MPH in a van with a $4,000 plasma TV in the back. I doubt any plasma TV has gone as fast.
