From the “I’ve been meaning to post this for ages” file: when I went to Chicago for RailsConf, I had a free evening with which to catch up with my friends Dave and Rob, who live there. I’ve known Dave for nearly two years and met him through Wendy; I’ve known Rob since 1989 — it’ll be seventeen years this fall, Rob! — when I met him as a wet-behind-the-ears frosh at Crazy Go Nuts University. Both played roles in our wedding — Dave as a “bridesman” and Rob as a candle sponsor.
Dave pciked me up from the airport and took me to his neighbourhood, where we caught up with Rob and then engaged in that most venerable of rituals: drinking lots of beer. We spent most of our time at Resi’s Bierstube, where the beer selection was quite good and the nice bartender kept giving me Jagermeister-like shots in exchange for accordion music.
Here’s my favourite photo of the evening, a shot outside Grizzly’s Lodge where we had dinner:
