Last Night's Party

I would definitely classify last night's party a success.

We had our annual Birthday / Holiday / Any-Excuse-For-A-Party Party at the Pair-o-Dice Poolroom on the second floor of the Skylark Lounge. It's a quaint little poolroom with three 9-foot tables, a barbox, a shuffleboard table, an old school bowling game and a super old school jukebox. It was recently featured in Billiards Digest as the Best New Room.

You see, since neither Chisolm nor I have normal, corporate jobs where we have holiday parties that we can invite our significant others to, to meet and mingle with our co-workers, we have to throw our own. The Skylark was the perfect venue, actually. I brought a shrimp cocktail, some veggie, and a fruit tray with lots of chips and dips. Oh! And a couple cheeseballs, too, of course! Can't forget those.

With our good friend Tom Ross bartending and about 30 of our closest pool-playing friends, the evening was a big hit! Oh! And the best part! Since they don't normally serve food there, you're allowed to bring your Vegas's. Our Vegas was pretty pooped by the end of the night.
