We showed up a little early and one whole side of this place was closed up...thought it was shut down for a moment, but then found the other 3 people who were there. One was a coworker of NakedBob's that we met a the Boxing Donkey excursion, one was his friend and the other guy Shooter ended up knowing. It's a really small world people.

We made ourselves comfy and ordered drinks from Billy the bartender. He is kind of showy, but grows on you. From what we could tell there were only two people working the place. Billy & guy cooking up the pizza. Guess the scaled down their staff drastically.

It started to fill up fast with a whole group from TheJenny's work celebrating a birthday, NakedBob's coworker friends, and our normal lot. It was loud, casual and we moved tables wherever we pleased!

You can't go wrong with the pizza here. It's very thin, very large and have great toppings to chose from. We didn't exactly get what we ordered, but they also gave us a pizza so really, who is going to complain. Some of our favorite toppings - bacon, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, green onions and tomatoes. Also their salad fed all 8 of us. Yup. One salad.

Girls went in on a bottle of wine, boys had beers and stiffer drinks. All and all, it was a fun night with lots of moving around, carousing with the other folks and lots of drinking. We came up with a really great idea for an iphone app, but we keeping that hush-hush.

Weird story: the now defunct Nut Tree had kids games and one was call "The Doggie Pounder", where you whack on it and try to bounce the balls into the dogs mouth. Seriously. The other, "The Smokin' Token." Who approved these?

Journal Tidbits:
"I've got Chip's nuts in a bag - they are extra small." - Jarla
"I didn't know a tongue could do that!" - Foster
"Are these from the strip club?" - Jarla holding up three dollar bills before pulling them apart. They were sticky...icky.

Now I need to find someone who was sober enough to take pictures...
