Three three

I had a nice birthday yesterday. I had to work, though, which made it a not-so-exciting day until work ended. First, I walked down to the Jolly Roger Taproom for a first beer with beer_retard. They have this deal on Fridays where they cap a limited-edition keg and sell $3 pints until they run out. We each had a pint of their Islander Pale Ale.



Then, we met up with decadentscholar and negihama for some food (caprese platter, three orders of fish and chips, and a side salad) and drinks (I had two more beers, but they were of the high alcohol variety). Afterward, we walked up to the house and served cake. The cats came out and made friends, and we had a not-so-late night. It was a good birthday.

The big present from Elizabeth was tickets to the Sasquatch Music Festival (day one, Saturday). The lineup: Host Sarah Silverman; artists Björk, The Arcade Fire, Manu Chao, Neko Case, The Hold Steady, Mix Master Mike, Mirah, and a bunch of others. Now I need to investigate the latest photo policy (what does "professional cameras" mean to the gate security?), see if it's worth it to get "Premier Parking", and start getting hydrated now.

In a little bit, we're heading over to my folks' to see some relatives, have more cake, and generally take it easy.
