I'm not the most social person. It's true. Every now and again, therefore, I find it therapeutic to go to a party of some kind and hang around the edges, barely talking and approaching no one. I always take Susan with me so that the people who do approach can enjoy friendly interaction (also because I like having her around in case I start to cry).
This past weekend I heard about a party just a few hundred miles away from my house and decided, "Well, since I'm in the neighborhood." So, Susan and I went to TequilaCon 2009. It was fun. We flew into Albuquerque (which I spelled correctly without looking [BRAG]), we rented a volvo [BRAG], I drove to Santa Fe [BRAG], and we stayed in a lovely place called "Inn of the Anasazi". If you're in Santa Fe and don't mind spending $300+ a night for a nice place, it's great. Their restaurant, where we had dinner Saturday night, is SO good. I started with the split pea and green chile soup (AMAZING) and then had the lamb porterhouse (IT KILLED ME WITH TASTY). Susan also had the soup and she had a buffalo burger (not as good as my lamb but still AMAZING). We splurged on the hotel and restaurant in belated honor of our recent 18th wedding anniversary. Here are some photos of our room and of us being adorable as we have dinner.
Then, after dinner, we went to TequilaCon. I was actually able to relax and enjoy myself a bit. It was great to actually meet Jenny, Brandon, Vahid, Dustin, Sir, Dave and crap I shouldn't have started listing people because I suck at remembering things. Here are some pictures of all that. </LameRecap>
And here's a picture of a bear statue I thought was awesome.
And here's a picture of Susan reacting to a joke I told.
Hello, friends. How are you today?
Later. Love.
