Mini-Burgers and Graduation

Busy weekend. Saturday I was at Melissa Miller's wedding shower in Janseville with Vanessa and Sue. It was fun. Melissa's aunt made all kinds of cute mini-food and there were lots of drinks. The combination of small food and big drinks made for some interesting conversation. I had to duck out at around 5:30 to pick up Grandma (Sarah!) from the train station, so I didn't get to stay for the "bachlorette party" at the end. Which was sad, because I heard they were going to break out the penis-shaped jello shots at the end of the night...rats...

Meanwhile, Eric went golfing with Scott and Tom and got sunburned.

That night we picked up Sarah from the train station and went out with the Boy and Kristin. We had dinner at the bar Tracks on Humbolt and Locust where Kristen works as a cook. Tracks has a Saturday night special of $1.00 "Castle Burgers", which are awesome. They are supposed to be similar to White Castle's burgers, except these are actually good. I ate three, and would have eaten more if I wasn't also consuming the other Saturday night special, a 24 oz domestic tap beer for $2.25. Mmmm...burgers and beers....

Next morning we went to the US Cellular arena for the Boy's graduation. It was crazy-hot and packed with people. The commencement ceremony was crappy and the Boy threw us all for a loop by being the second name called out of 2,100 graduates even though the program listed him as the 43rd graduate. Eric and I were still fumbling with the camera when Sarah said, "He's already gone you guys, you missed him." God, Sarah! Oh well, we took a picture of him walking down the stairs, which I will post later. Afterwards, we went to Oakland Trattoria and had pizza followed by cake at the Boy's apartment.
