Another Friday brought another round of bars. We were thinking three, but then we were joined, midway, by the inestimable Clara, and suddenly the night was continuous. And yet still early.
Brandon and I started at Cayenne, the bar in the new Silver Cloud Inn at the south end of Broadway, which actually featured a first in all the bars we've been to. Then we went to Chapel, the most sacriligeous bar we've been to, and met up with Clara there and had some food. A trip to Mamounia, which was once Cobalt Blue and .Ing, brought us to the expected three, but we weren't near done. So we ventured to the Full Circle, formerly the Sea Wolf, and site of our interview with Melanie McFarland. From there, it was back to Ballard to take me home, but not before stopping in at Oaxaca, a delightful Mexican bar.
I should note that for once, I wasn't the guy knocking down drinks. Clara and Brandon both did it without me even helping.
And Clara picked up a sponsorship, bless her American by way of England self. Plus she has a motorcycle now, which kind of rules.
All this, and we were done before midnight. How effecient.
