Rolling On

So yesterday, we started getting into some fun scripting challenges. Maybe for smart people they weren't all that challenging, but I found it ranked right up there. About ten of us ended up working well after the class was supposed to end, trying to debug our code and figure out where we went wrong. Eight of us agreed that it would be a good night to get some beer.

Beer?

Now we're talking MY programming language.

Samson, Li, Iulian and I met with three of the IBM guys and our instructor Anthony and had dinner at the Red Star Tavern. It was $2.00 Tuesday. Miller Light on tap was $2.00 and they also had $1.00 burgers. Right on. It was the best $1.00 burger I've ever had (though I added cheese, lettuce and tomato to mine - which made it a $3.00 burger in total).

After finishing our meal, and a half dozen rounds, a few of the guys went home and the rest of us went to the connected Big Louie's bar, where I drank good old Rolling Rock draft. Yum. Too bad my neighbour Chad wasn't there - it's his favourite beer.

We had tons of laughs and I image some of us might be hurting a bit in class this morning. Too stubborn to pay for a cab, and not bothered by the cold, I ended up walking back with one of the IBM guys. It was, after all, only a twenty minute walk across the river from Station Square to our hotel.

I think that the only disappointing thing about last night was it was the first time I didn't see Samson taking a picture of his food. (His girlfriend has this fetish where she likes to see all the food that he eats when he's travelling -- so, just before chowing down each night, he'd pause, pull out his camera and take a picture of his plate)
