Hawkins is going away!

todd — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 10:11:52 +0000

Not “away” away. Just not going to be at TSS anymore. Today is his last day at TSS and tomorrow starts his first day of full time 9Seeds employment! We’re only 2 hours into this shindig and I’m not sure how much longer it can last. The man of the hour has accepted every drink purchased for him and as you can see, there’s an awful lot of people lined up to buy him one.

Hello some more from Jamaica

California dreamin’

Our dear friends, Hope and Don, moved…nay, abandoned us and moved to LA. They made up for it though by inviting us out to LA for Halloween weekend for what could loosely be called a housewarming. More specifically it’s hanging out and drinking beer on their new back porch, playing with the dog and keeping an eye out for their wild yard rabbit, Mikey.

Mattapalooza IV

Happy birthday, Matt! Every year Matt’s (not Malex Matt, a different one) birthday becomes somewhat of a grand celebration. It falls on the leading edge of a whole lot of stuff after a bit of a lull and as such things can get a little crazy. Crazy mostly happened last night though and today it’s just a great pool party at Sharee and Kim’s new place. They have a pool with nice big living room and family room areas connected by a kitchen. I’m not sure they know it or not but we’ve found our new party venue.

Blue Martini pre-Fremont fun

It’s the weekend! I’m going to Fremont later for some dinner, poker and a downtown pub crawl for a birthday but there was 3 hours between work and that and I -hate- going home and then going back out again. Luckily Hope had suggested a Blue Martini evening and it fits perfectly with those plans.

Monday at ye olde Blue Martini

todd — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:11:36 +0000

Surprise, surprise, Hope is back in town for the week so it’s time for a very brief Blue Martini drink and dinner with those who showed up. It’s a light crew today. I’m not really sure where everyone else is but we can have fun without them, regardless. I was planning on being home reading tonight because my stack is growing but the books will wait. They’re patient like that.

Mac and cheese!

Hope and Don are abandoning us so they’ve decided to throw one last Vegas BBQ at their house. Hope made her famous mac ‘n cheese and it was awesome as always. We’re going to miss those two but time moves on and your friends move away. We’ll just have to visit them regularly in LA and they will also have to come back regularly to us. Who doesn’t want to visit Vegas, right? Living here is awesome in that respect.

Beer and Blog Bar Louie

Week 2 at the new Beer and Blog location. It seems to be working well. Nicely located, good specials, good food, more varied drinks. The way they handle the checks is a little weird but I think that’s something we can iron out with them over time. They aren’t really sure how to deal with us yet. Regardless, a fun time is being had by one and all and Hawkins and I even did some blogging and thus helped make sure we get to keep the name.

One of these things is not like the other

What went through my head as I wrote that subject line was that Matt wasn’t asian. Only later did it occur to me that Matt was also the only one in the picture who was, in fact, male. Either way, it’s him that’s not like the rest. We’re getting ready to head over to Bar Louis for a slightly different venue for Beer & Blog. I think we all love the Freakin’ Frog but it isn’t very conducive to easy conversation. It involves lots of yelling, usually. I guess we’ll see what the new location is like. If it doesn’t work, back to Freakin’ Frog we will go.
