weekend wrap-up | 12:20 pm | 20 March 2006
Thursday: Megan Patrick, Editor of HOW Magazine speaking at Design Madison. Brief, but inspriring talk. Drinks after at the always-annoying Opus Lounge.
Friday: Errands galore, then meeting friends for drinks and Rockstar Happyoke with The Gomers at High Noon Saloon. Happyoke is karaoke with a real band, and it’s freakin’ awesome. The Gomers know every song ever, and it’s really amazing, the people who you’d never guess could do it, and then get up there and rock it hard. Lots of fun, we’ll definitely be going again soon. The other nice thing about Happyoke is that it starts at 5pm, so if you’re not one for staying out like a rockstar any more, well… yeah. There was pizza and falling asleep on the couch later.
Saturday: Himself’s mom arrived, and we took her to a bead show, which was interesting. (Cougar-hunters, you should start beading…) Home to cook the corned beef and assorted Oirish goodies, and welcome himself’s brother and his girlfriend, Jay, and a friend of my brother’s who was checking out Madison as a possible grad school.
Sunday: An Irish breakfast, a nice walk outside, himself fixed the dripping sink, and we had a lovely and quiet housy evening.
