Boys Weekend

This past weekend a few of my friends from high school came to Atlanta for a visit. This past fantasy football season there was a hefty bet made. Whatever team had the best finish, the others would have to buy him a steak dinner at his place of choice.

Charley, Lof, Lupo, and Nancy came down to celebrate me. Ezra and OP were also scheduled to come down but they couldn't make it. We dubbed the celebration "Boys Weekend."

Highlights from the weekend:

• Flights land Friday night, everyone arrives safely. I take Charley and Lof with me and we get out of the parking lot in no time. Buck drives Lupo and Nancy. He inserts ticket into the machine, it eats it, and the parking attendant won't let him out. What was gonna cost him 2 bucks will now cost him 28 for a lost ticket fee. They finally get the ticket out of the machine and then charge him 4 bucks to leave.


• My group makes it to Smith's Old Bar for some food and drinks. The second group shows up a half hour later because of the parking fiasco.


• BBQ at my house on Saturday afternoon. Everyone hangs out in the backyard drinking beers and eating dogs and burgers. Shannon plays with her new bubble machine. We broke out the photo albums and laughed at the outfits we used to wear to Steve Miller Band concerts.
  
• Dinner at The Palm Saturday night. 9 people total. I have the 28 oz Porterhouse. They have to pay for it. Food is good, not great. Appetizer platter of different seafood items was really good. Our waitress can't stop saying awesome. The bill comes out to over $1000 with tip.


• Out for drinks after dinner. We try to find a bar that has the fight on in Buckhead with no luck. So we go to an Irish bar named Fado for a few beers.


• Went to the Braves/Dodgers game on Sunday. Braves win. After the game we went to Centennial Olympic Park to walk around. There was a Hispanic festival going on so the park was packed with people.

Overall a great weekend for everyone involved. Lots of food, fun, and great friends.
