On the bubble

I want to go out on my birthday (Friday) for a few drinks and some food, and I can't decide/figure out where to go! It's only going to be for four, maybe six or seven people (if we invite a couple of other people). Low-key. negihama might make and bring a cake. At least three possible guests live on Capitol Hill or First Hill and don't have cars, so I'm trying to find something near there.

It doesn't have to be fancy. Just decent food, good drink selection (beer, mixed), and not someplace that will be super crowded on a Friday night. Guess I'll keep looking at Yelp until something makes sense. If we didn't do trivia so often at Hopvine, that would probably do fine for our purposes. Maybe we can just go someplace downtown.

We're thisclose to picking our caterer, and I need to make a list of the "what's next" stuff for the wedding. We should probably figure out the chairs for the ceremony, the rehearsal dinner site, the officiant, and round out the wedding party. Then, I guess, we start shopping for wedding bands? Dunno!

It's been sort of weird with most of my TV shows on hiatus. We aren't watching much. (In the last week, I saw Grey's Anatomy, a disappointing Office repackaged rerun, BSG, and ... that's it? Lost, I guess.) Meanwhile, I'm watching the rumors about the future of Veronica Mars with mixed feelings. In some ways, the show never was as good as the first season, so I have some doubts that a fourth season would necessarily be a return to form. However, it's still a better show than most everything else I see on network TV, and the cast is great. I'd definitely miss it if it goes away.
