The summer colds are killing our attendance! Stop being sick people! We were down to a modest seven drunks tucked into the little back room we call the snug. We were obnoxious enough for our normal 10-11 though.

It's been a long while since we visited Ink. All of their food is good and usually the staff are fun, playful and sassy. Oh, and they know how to make a mixed drink. Bonus points.

NakedBob and Mr.Chem were in fine form, giggling like school girls and getting into trouble. It all ended in one of NakedBob's very best portrait drawings in the journal.

The Doctor's BBQ

Undisclosed Elk Grove Location

The good doctors, a married couple who both earned nicknames that include "Doctor" hosted our Thursday this week at their house. I wasn't there, which will become painfully apparent when you keep reading.

Things I know.

• Two 2-year olds went into the side yard "spaceship" and looked for the "moon" in the trash and ended up inside the dog house.
• The adults barbecued all sorts of animal flesh and vegetable combinations and enjoyed beer on the back patio and did not end up in the dog house.
• 3-month old blue great dane puppy visited and left a present in the yard.
• Girl 2-year old decided to walk boy 2-year old with a leash. Inevitably the boy ended up crying.
• Some drunks were missing, claiming lame reasons like "work", "sick", and "in Canada". Jerks.

Moral of the story? The blog writer should probably skip work next time.

The Tail of Two Drunks

Undisclosed Donner Lake Cabin - AND -

Captain Crabby Pants finally proved his worth by digging up an uncle with a kickass cabin on Donner. For some reason the uncle let us all use said kickass cabin for the weekend. A few of us were left behind for crappy reason and therefore I will now refer to the kickass cabin as the lame cabin because I am bitter. And hostile. And angry. And cabin-less. Yes, I was left behind.

So, the remaining awesome drunks ended up at Bonn Lair to drown our bitterness in beer. We love to go here when we are a small group since it's a tiny place. The fish and chips are delicious and enough for two. The have lambic, Allegash white on tap and other great beers. They really have a wonderful selection to choose from. Many sausages were consumed as well.

We had a guest star, John who joined us which was fun! He put our sad party of three up to a merry band of four. And he bought me a beer. I like him.

BBQ at the Orange House

Undisclosed Roseville Location


Oh Orange House, why are you so fun? It seems simple enough. A hot grill, a few cocktails, a dozen drunks and their family members, one ugly bird and a backyard. If only everyone was so lucky on a Thursday.

Hostess TheJenny served up prosecco cocktails with Chambord and hibiscus flowers. Yup, it was that fancy! Boys brough huge slabs of meat to grill and eat with giant utensils. Yours truly ended up with fiberglass in her legs. For the record, the best way to get that out is packing or duct tape. Totally works. You'll thank me for that Cliff Claven moment.
