Recap

Last night, only two of us went out but we had a great time at Wallbangers. Since the middle section of the bar has a bunch tables pushed together, it's easy to meet people just by socializing with the folks who end up sharing the table with you or are sitting at the tables next to you. I expected it to be crowded since most of the world has the day off today, but the majority of the small groups out were bachelor/bachelorette parties and birthday celebrators who seemed to keep to themselves. A random group of four (a fifth showed up later) sat with us for about two hours and one of the guys could have been Tobey Maguire's stunt double. Another group of three was at the table next to ours and Sally got to talking to them because she caught an accent and couldn't help herself...turns out they're all from New Zealand. Strangely, one of them asked us if we knew where that was. I guess they must think world geography isn't common knowledge here in P-town. Anyhoo, after holding back a dig about Kiwis liking the sheep a little more than they should, I was ready to go and Sally suggested we go see if anything was going on at Stephano's. We did a drive-by but it was so dead, we didn't even go in and decided to head over to Canita for something to eat but it was closed. She's been morally opposed to the 24-hour Hotcake House since that time we got kicked out, so I dropped her off at her car and we both went home.

Today is a blank canvas, so I'm about ready to get up and out and see what happens.
