Thursday night out!


Thursday was cinco de mayo, which means long lines at my favorite burrito spot and mexican independence.  I headed out with Courtney and Ryan and we waited patiently in line for some goodness - I got my staple super steak burrito with salsa, hot sauce, and guacamole SO GOOD!  

We then ventured to an art show that was BMX themed.  Apparently good things happen when engineer nerds from expensive city schools love their bikes!  The concept was a lot cooler than the presentation - you'd think kids from a fancy technology school would pay more attention to presentation and make some cool crafty display- eh. What was REALLY COOL was that some dude constructed self-correcting grind pedals and then had a sweet imovie playing over and over showing how the pedals worked every time.  Someone designed a city friendly bike rack that doubles as a bench/bus stop which would make bike parking a lot more friendly than chaining it to random poles. 

our 3rd and last stop of the night was at this great dive with wood paneling, pew-like benches, lots of city kitsch, super dark basement feel, and this little square hole in the wall you can order food from the neighboring pizza joint. highlights: $2.50 bud light drafts, jukebox, and a back alley unmarked door for a 2nd way to enter the building.  cheap cheap cheap.
