but when you host a party like SUSHIBOWL III...it can't go unmentioned. And then there was snow, skates and yes even BEER.
So for a quick recap, we had a total of 25 people for Sushibowl....a record for Rich's sushi making skills...but he shined. I don't think anyone went without...even the newly converted were snorking up fish, festivities and the FOOTBALL. Thanks all for making the event one not to be forgotten soon.
Oh then there was a trip to Sly Park for Chiso's second Snow encounter. Plus since we are like 3 months post surgery, I can say with confidence that her surgery was worth every penny.
Gonna throw in a picture of Lori and I as King Skate...we went during their last week before they closed. I was sad that they are closing but it was a coming together of community those last days and they will truly be missed. Nothing like the strobe lights, waifing popcorn/nacho cheese smell, remembering exactly how to skate, almost falling, regaining that control...then there were those kids built for skating, showing off their skills. Plus the teenage girls there to show off for the boys...lipstick, tight shirts and bubble gum...ah youthful memories. Specifically, the thrill of holding a boys hand at the roller rink could not be equaled for me at age 10-11...and even at 45 the skating rink holds a special place in my heart forever.
Ok, lastly there was The Shack for Sacramento's Beer Week. Oh muy gawd, last Saturday Rich worked on the flooring for the new office all day and I had to convince him that going out was a good idea, especially because we had nothing for dinner. The Shack was hosting five local micro- breweries, a band, raffles and yummy Shack food. So we got in, bought our tickets, stamped our hands and yes got a beer. There was fire pits to warm by and later to roast S'mores at...and the band was lead by Mike Blanchard from Tattoo Love Dogs fame. Left and right were reminders of friends and our history living in Sacramento. Bob. BOB! So we snagged a muffletta sammie, some of the yummiest of beers and kicked it, listening to Mike Blanchard & the Whispering Chingaderos...
All in all... though there are things to get us down, we seem to seek the wild and wonderful with our friends in Sactown! Next we are looking forward to hosting our SF friends, Vicky and Richard coming for sushi Saturday...more SUSHI!
