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?

"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...

Girls were in Monterey. Three boys went to the Embers... They won't tell us any stories and there are no pictures. That's how a gentleman's club should be.

Carmelita's
4071 Howard St
Fair Oaks, CA 95628
(916) 961-3327
In honor of our favorite robot, RobotGoBen, we ended up at Carmelita's to celebrate his birthday. Everyone under the sun with a party of 10 or more was there that night. Holy crap it was crowded, even with reservations.
Finally got seated at a long table back by the bar area. I picked up a Cadillac Margarita for the birthday boy at the bar, and I have to say, they were kinda average. And for $9 each, I wasn't impressed. They was quite a bit of tequila in them, just kind of bland.
The salsa here is great, and I personally made my way through at least four bowls. A lot of folks ended up with green enchiladas, and they were fantabulous! Everyone else seemed happy with their food.
Sluggy, even though she wasn't there, sent along a gorgeous set of cupcakes. They looked like Cookie Monster with a cookie in his mouth...all slathered in blue coconut icing. They were awesome!
Caddie showed up again since she was in town before her trip to LA. She asked Bumpy if he was planning on making banana daiquiris at Sea Ranch... what? So then the story comes out that Shim drink his banana daiquiri way through Florida. Let the girly jokes begin! There was lots of texting between Crabby & Shim, with the best one being, "What kind of umbrella do you take with your tampon." - Crabby
Then, when trying to scribe that incident, Bump asked how to spell tampon, but wanted to spell it tampoon. Tampoons were then explained to be giant absorbent harpoons on catamarans.

Uncle Vito's
1501 16th St
Sacramento, CA 95814
(916) 444-3699
Who wants some good cheap pizza and booze? Yup, we do!!! The pizza is by the slice, thin, crispy and loaded with deliciousness. The beers on tap are pretty good, but I have to say, their full bar is a bit thin. I think an average bar of a Thursday Drunk is better stocked. No Tanquery? Really?
Uncle Vito's is more of a bar with pizza by the slice, which is why it's so good. We climbed up on some bar stools and then saw the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile drive by. Awesome!
Everyone started showing up and it was three tables of drinks, pizza and drunks. Outside it was pouring, which meant we needed to keep eating and drinking.
Apparently there was some sort of unknown call for stripy shirts. Two drunks, and three others all in striped shirts/sweaters. Crazy. And there was a woman who, in flat shoes, towered over Frankenstein... and he's not short.
There was lots of talk about the bacon log that has swept the internet...we want it. As long as we have someone to call 911 when we start having heart attacks.
