I always love when July 4th falls on a Friday. That typically means that the festivities can start on Thursday evening and go all the way until Saturday night/Sunday morning, leaving all day Sunday to recover from all the partying. And that is precisely what I did over the long holiday weekend.
I won’t go into the gory details of this crazy-busy weekend, but here’s a quick list of what I did:
Bar-hopping in Fremont with stops at Red Door, Brouwer’s, and Dad Watson’s. Lots of beer. Lots of goofiness. And someone did the banana dance in real life.
Day 1 of the Seattle International Beerfest with a bunch of friends. Lots and lots of beer was sampled in a nice 4-oz glass.
July 4th BBQ at a friend of a friend of a friend’s house next to Lake Union. Perfect viewing location for the Lake Union fireworks show without dealing with all the crazy crowds at Gasworks. Lots of alcohol was involved both at the BBQ and afterwards hanging out at a friend’s place.
Day 2 of the Seattle International Beerfest with a couple of friends. This time we only drank the beers we liked, and we drank a lot of them. We favored several different wits and Lindemans Pomme. We even got a bunch of tickets at half-price from some guys who were leaving early. That resulted in more beer consumption.
Dinner at a newly-opened sushi restaurant at a friend’s apartment building. Not bad so far, but they definitely have some growing pains. Food was good. Waitress was cute (always a plus).
Saw Hancock and was entertained.
Played Rock Band at a friend’s place until 3am. Arms are so sore.
Slept in on Sunday and spent the afternoon cleaning the apartment. Not the most exciting way to spend a Sunday afternoon, but the cleaning was much needed. I did get some cupcakes from Rebecca, so that was a huge bonus.
All in all, it was an awesome weekend. Here are a few pics of the fun:
