As typical weekends have been going I stayed in on Friday and did nothing. Saturday we had quite the full day though. Adam came over at noon to watch the Badgers fall again to Illinois. Luedke had made his way over at halftime to add another voice yelling at the TV. After the game was over we went to the Lakefront Brewery to take advantage of the four beers for five bucks deal. It’s actually called the brewery tour but we usually skip that part. This is usually a great time but we were actually disappointed this time. They had to setup the upstairs for a wedding so they shuffled everyone to the downstairs taps. When we got down there everyone got one beer and the barrels kicked and they wouldn’t tap anymore. It’s a brewery for crying out loud, tap another one of the hundred kegs lying around you lazy ass. Anyway there were about fifty very upset people, us included because we had two more tokens left. So we gathered the troops and headed to Wolski’s for a couple more brews. At Wolski’s we shot some darts on the real horse hair boards with the classic metal tipped darts. J and I didn’t do so hot but it was fun anyway. After Wolski’s we went to the Hi-Hat and we were going to get some grub but we sat down and put in a drink order. Fifteen minutes later with no drinks and a waiter spilling water on Luedke’s sister we decided to leave. The group all went to some place that I didn’t want to eat at so I hit up Subway for some eats. I finished my sub way before the other group so I went to the Nomad and waited for them there. Finally the group arrived and we stayed there for a good amount of time and drank some specialty brews. Soldiers started falling left and right at about eleven but Feyer called at that time as well and said he was in town. So J and I took a cab home and changed. We met Feyer at the Metro with one of his other buddies. Feyer had to go to Have A Nice Day to meet someone else so J and I stayed at the Metro until about one and called it a night.
I for one hate Valentine’s Day but I do like going out to eat so I took J to a cozy little Italian place called Zarletti’s here in downtown. We had a great meal and our waiter was very “friendly” and really allowed us to stretch out our meal. We were there for over an hour and had a very nice sit down meal which I haven’t had in a while. I had the shrimp scampi and it was delicious. If you want a nice reasonably prices place to take a special someone I give this place a thumbs up. Next holiday up, a real holiday, St. Patrick’s Day.
