I still believe in the good ole fashioned weekend post on Monday, so sue me! On Friday, I went to what I am going to call a happy unhappy happy hour event at The World of Beer which featured Dogfish Head brewskis. The beer prices were absurd, as you can see below, but I was happy to be hanging out with CB and his friend (and now my friend because that's how this works here right?!) Vanessa!
CB and I split the flight which was only $15 (hah, only $15) and allowed us to choose 4 different beers to test. Naturally, being the moochers hillbillies cheapskates intelligent people we are, we of course chose the 4 most expensive beers on the list.
This event was part of North Texas Beer week, which was a 10 day long event, at different breweries, bars and locations all over the metroplex that featured mostly local, and some national craft beers.
Sometime around 9pm and no dinner later, I learned why the beers cost so much. Sarah, meet 20% alcohol content per beer, also known as the Dogfish 120 minute IPA. Oh, hello Sarah. Lovely to meet you and goodnight. See you tomorrow around 3pm. Sarah out.
On Saturday, I was so excited to head to my very first NHL regular season game. I had been to one pre-season game before, but this was so much cooler. Although I had no idea what the rules were, I went with Vanessa who is the biggest Dallas Stars fan I know... and luckily for me, a very knowledgable season ticket holder!
We had a blast and I even learned a thing or two! Including what a hat trick is. For those that are totally clueless like I am, that is not in fact when a bunny is pulled from a top hat after the magic words Abra Cadabra are chanted, but rather when one player scores three goals in the same game. I would have been equally as impressed had a bunny appeared, but ah well. Maybe next time.
The fans throw their hats onto the ice in celebration. I thought that was really neat. Although the score hadn't been updated yet, this image was right after Tyler Seguin scored his third goal of the night. You can see the cheerleaders picking up the hats off the ice.
And then there was this guy who was just clearly so excited about it...
Meanwhile, I had peanuts and a beer with a
doesn't-place-hair-on-your-chest alcohol content. What's not to love about hockey season?! I'm already a fan and I'll be back as soon as Vanessa will have me again!
Oh, and per the usual, Sunday was spent on the couch from 12pm-10pm. Because, football. I'll be back tomorrow with an update on how my mascot predictions fared!
Gee is back at the vet again today because of a really bad jaw/mouth infection he has dealt with on and off for years. I'm a little anxious so if everyone could keep my little guy in their thoughts today I would appreciate it!
PEACE OUT MONDAY!
