We chose Gordon Biersch as our dinner destination mainly because I really, really wanted to eat their garlic fries. I had such a craving for the garlic fries even though I ordered the grilled snapper w/vegetables and rice, I had them swap out fries instead of the rice. Thanks for making it happen Gordon Biersch. You guys have some amazing garlic fries. Oh, the fish was damn good too...
I have a fairly nice, compact P8 digi cam. I, however, have nothing on Henry's humangous Nikon dSLR. With that MASSIVE lens and crazy bright flash (innuendo aside). He took several random photos during dinner and nearly blinded us all with the power of the bulb.
I love lamp.* Random photo of the light dangling beside our dinner table. Cat, did you take this one?
Here's everyone who went (sans Brad who just met up with us for the movie). Cat, Myself (and my Blues jersey), newbie (Matt), Allan, Brenton & Henry. 3 of us got the snapper and apparently we also had the last 3 snappers for the night. It took us a while to get there but we finally did and we had an awesome dinner!
We missed out on the 10:05pm showing of Sin City. Well, actually we just decided that we didn't want to sit front and center in a packed movie theater. Instead, we chose to catch the 10:55pm showing and we had the fortune of standing around and waiting for an extra few minutes outside before migrating into the "lobby" area and chilling next to all the cool movie posters (we were 2nd in line!!!). Here's Cat doing her best Lindsay Lohan impression. Maybe it's just me but I'm pretty sure Herbie's got nothing on your Bug back home Cat! Shortly after taking this pic (and another pic w/Cat's camera, the friendly movie theater guy came over and chided us for snapping photos... sucka).
And here's the gang waiting patiently in the theater for the movie to begin (Brad's in there, but he's being blocked pretty well). We watched almost 1/2 hr of pre-show entertainment, commercials and trailers before Sin City finally came on. I think it was well worth it. I absolutely loved the cinematography and its truthfulness to Frank Miller's graphic novels. I'd definitely recommend you guys go see it (if you haven't already) as it's very entertaining and well done.
Well, folks, that was a fun and exciting Friday evening out. Thanks again to all the guys (+Cat) for coming out. Delicious dinner, entertaining conversation, awesome movie and, best of all, a great bunch of friends. Who could ask for more?!
