Busy Busy Weekend (End Of February)

If you haven't noticed by now, one thing that We definately don't know how to do is sit still. So with that being said once again Kara and I were on the go again this weekend. After a long week we got the chance to hang out with a lot of people we haven't seen in awhile.

Iron Horse Tavern: A few weeks ago my friend Michael sent me a calendar invite to keep Friday night open. Originally it was going to be a reunion of a bunch of us that used to work at CareerBuilder.com. Michael started off organizing the event great, but in the end it only wound up being a few people. To be honest, I was perfectly ok with that. I've also learned never to trust Google Maps in giving me directions to give to Kara. (That's a story for another time).

Saturday in All It's Glory

Unfortunately Saturday, Kara had to work in the morning. I got up and decided to get myself breakfast cause I was going to have a very busy day. I had a few ideas that I've been kicking around for potential side projects I've wanted to persue so I started to plan those out. From there, I went to softball practice. Our team is going to be sponsored by a Bar in Norcross called Medlock Tavern. So last season was the last of Congenital Hercules. After practice it was the event that I had been waiting for all month...
Winter Beer Carnival: Doesn't that just sound fun?



Unfortunately the event sold out quicker than everybody expected. Neil, Bobby, and Dan were supposed to join us as well but due to the event selling out, they weren't able to get tickets. They took a trip to a brewery out in South Carolina. While we missed them we still had a great time. The carnival was in a somewhat small area, but was still a lot a fun. There were beers from all over the south east, carnival games (Pop a shot basketball... Rolka - 26 Worm - 57, thanks to Michael Maday's words of encouragement "Don't you dare disgrace your race by losing to a white boy" when we were tied at 20... He's such a motivator), great food... Oh yeah, and Beer! The A great time was had by all and I can't wait to do it again.

Some Pics from the Event: This is the result when your friend tells you to "Smile" and they forget they have beer in their hands...


But we got ourselves together...

And if nothing else... We learned that the ladies love Bobby B!


Angie's Birthday: Later that night we went over Kara's friend Angie to celebrate her birthday. I wasn't much fun that night as I had been oversearved earlier in the day (Again... a story for another time... maybe) we got to see the Men's 4 Man Bobsled Team win their gold medal as well. It was our first time to Angie's place and I know Kara is in love with it. I do have to agree that it is beautiful.


It was a long day and an extremely fun one as well.

Sunday in North Georgia: Originally we had planed to check out Sambuca Jazz Cafe for dinner this night. I'm glad we didn't. Kara mentioned earlier in the week that Ann & Paul invited us up for dinner. While I got up and decided to do some laundry Kara got a text message asking when we'd be up there. Turns out that they wanted to take a ride to Ellijay to a Cajun Restaurant for lunch. It was great! We also got to walk around a little bit too and see some of the "local flair" of North GA.



I know that its 2010 but somethings have to be posted when you see them. I put up a twitpic of this and the common question was "How Come You Didn't Say Anything" Well... Remember The Chapelle Show and When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong???




After Elijay We went back to the Raygors for a great dinner. We were joined by Neil, Alisha, and P Diddy.

The weekends always fly by too fast. Unfortunately even though we had a great weekend they always go by too quickly. I know that March is going to be a quick month before the worldwind that is going to be our April.

We hope that your weekend was great as well.
