Come back weekend, come back…

Jun 1, 2009 Posted in Misc

Ugh, if it was that easy to get back to the weekend.  This weekend was fun, but extremely short.  Friday, I hung out with my girlfriend and checked out the best South City has to offer.  I am really starting to dig the Macklind area.  They have a number of good restaurants including the Macklind Avenue Deli—a little deli with a huge beer selection.  On Saturday, I met up with Dozier and visited the Post Sports Bar on Manchester for lunch.  I had a delicious Philly steak sandwich and a couple of good beers.  Overall, it was a pretty good bar.  After that, we hit up the taste of Maplewood. There was not much doing there, so I headed up to the Hoff’s house to do a little swimming and watch the NBA.  To my dismay, the big O beat my Cavs.  We ended the night at Harry’s and an all night music listening event at Hoffs.  It was definitely a fun night.  Although, the lack of sleep made my Sunday seem really short.  I definitely want to take it easy next weekend, but that is going to be tough with the Heritage Festival on Friday night and John’s bachelor party on Saturday.  I need a weekend from the weekend.

Looking forward, I am starting to get excited for the NBA finals.  I actually like both teams.  But, I am a huge Kobe fan, so I will be leaning that way.  I think the Lakeshow is going to be tough to beat.  But, if Orlando gets hot from three it will be a good series.  I am guessing Hoff, Ted, and the Wrangler will be pulling for O-town.  And, Eric and I will be pulling for the Lakeshow.  I think we definitely need to get a watch party together for a couple of the games.

I think that is all I have got for now.
