"We need to grab one of those young smart ones before he like, uh, patents something."**


So, folks, Sassafrass is here and we're taking the city by storm. Yesterday night we met all the gang at our favorite spot for chili dogs, beer and good music off the digital jukebox. Sass had a great time meeting everyone and taking in the sights that the inn had to offer (to include, but not be limited to, the table of 60+ year old men who were infatuated with our table full of fun, the shorts with Vienna Inn across the ass, the filet mignon special, and our docile friend Scoot making out with the Gashole pinup poster). After several pitchers of beer, at least two extraordinary crayon portraits, a dozen fully loaded dogs and lots of liquid cheese, we left. Our goal, as far as we were concerned, had been met: Sass had a good means of comparison for tonight, where we hit up 1789 for our first Restaurant Week adventure.

So our meal was definitely Top 5...maybe even Top 3. My Laguna Beach Buddy and a friend of ours from our post-college hey days were our fabulous dinner companions. Because they have important jobs (hey, LB Buddy started a new job this week and one of her co-workers is one of the same age buddies we met at LuLus! Small world, huh?) and/or a husband and child, they headed home. We headed to a bar. Filled with gals and lads no greater than 22 years old which, if you're doing the math, is no less than seven years younger than we. But we're hot. And sassy. And breezy. And dammit if we weren't going to have a good time. I mean, this was prime opportunity for us to relive our glory days and make new friends. We had already totally befriended the restaurant bartender and our waiter. These were college kids. We could surely hang with them.

Well, at least we tried.

ok, not so anonymous, that was the whole point of the story. we CAN hang, we just chose NOT TO HANG (bright lights and 20 year olds notwithstanding). and i feel the need to defend ourselves--did you miss how we befriended the bartender (who invented a drink JUST FOR ME)? seriously, you know better than to accuse us of that...

Ronya, I'm pretty sure that bartender made me that same drink one time and said it was just for me. Please tell me you didn't go to my old bar?
