Firkin Fun and Grove Kitchen Dancing..

Last night a friend of our's Tim, asked us to go bar hopping with him and his wife and a few of their friends. At the same time, my friend Colleen and her boyfriend asked us to go out with them. Well, I kinda thought why doesn't Colleen and Steve join us with Tim and his crew. We decided to meet up with Tim at the Firkin bar in Preston, where a mildly talented band was trying to strum out songs by the Tradgically Hip, I could not really hear the resembelance...however it wasn't anything a strong, spicy cesear couldn't muffle.

It was fun, the company was the best and I love their cesears. Tim and his group were pretty happy sitting at the bar for most of the night, but by 11:30pm we were ready to go somewhere different. I do love the Firkin, it is one of my favorite spots but the band was not helping the headache that was slowly starting from the back of my head and kindly wrapping itself around the front of my forehead. We decided to leave quickly and headed to the Groove Kitchen, which just happened to be across the street. Ok, so it wasn't any quieter, but the band was a thousand times better. When we reached the door to the Groove kitchen we quickly realized that we knew the door lady. Colleen, Paul and I played baseball with her for 2 years. We were plesantly surprised to see her again, and she happily opened the door and greeted us with hugs and smiles. Once we got into the bar, which by the way was packed...we noticed one of the bar owners standing over by the bar. Her name is Jill, and we went to highschool with us. She was so excited to see us..big hugs, laughs and memories of highschool stories were exchanged between us. She looks great, and she is dating the co-owner of the bar who just happens to be the leader singer in the band that plays every Friday. The others joined us about half hour later, and we got a big table, sat around with friends...joked, people watched and soaked in the ever so trendy atmosphere. It was another successful night, Paul and I enjoyed Colleen and Steve's company and hope we can make this a fairly regular established tradition. Here's to friendship, little people and Bob Marley!!
