Friday night - Phoenix! All I can say is if you get the chance to go, GO. It was one of the best concerts I have seen. Definitely made up for not seeing Cake. It didnt make up for not being in Hawaii, but you cant win em all.
Saturday night we met some friends out for some mezcal tasting. And some grasshopper tasting. I thought they were roaches at first, but was quickly corrected. Here he is all innocently fried before I go in for the chomp.
My friend and I (me)? I forgot my English grammar.
These are much better. Alfajores! Our friends found a new store that opened with these Argentine sweets. YUM.
After a night like that, Sunday's run was rough. It started out bad, and continued along much the same, but it was full of entertainment. I forgot my water, so I had to stop and get some at 7/11. After I had paid and walked out, I opened the bottle to realize that it was mineral water. Gross! I dont drink it normally, but especially on a run it wasnt going to help. Every time I tried to open it I got spewed on by the unsavory crap. After a few miles I realized that I couldnt go faster than a walk and looked up to realize that I was behind a huge group of people in a protest walking through downtown. If I had been all there mentally, I would have figured out a way around them, but I wasnt, so I got in line behind them. I found out we were protesting bull fighting after hearing the chants over and over. Finally we got to my turn so I left my protesting friends and headed back home. When I got about 2 miles from home I saw another group of people stopped and realized that there was some sort of motorcycle convention. I am not lying when I say there was 2 miles (from this point home) of streets (and sidewalks) flooded with riders. I had to dodge the crazies on the sidewalk all the way home. I have never seen anything like it and wish I had my camera with me so I could show some evidence of the parade.
Once I was totally over the run I realized I was almost home. We finished the day with some home made sliders, onion rings, queso, guac and salsa. And a saints win! It ended much better than it started.
