Friday night Hunter and I met near Faneul Hall to see the free National show at Paddy O's. Besides the weird crowd and shoddy sound, we had a good time. We got a little ridiculous maybe. Afterwards we went back to Hunter's house and ended up talking about the south and being a lawyer with Glenn's mom and boyfriend. I sorta loved it.

The Beer Advocate's Belgian Beerfest was last night. The Cylcorama was filled with tables, each with a different brewery giving out 2oz samples. There were around 100 different beers there.. we only made it through about 15 each. We wrote down most of what we tried until we got buzzed. The winners for "favorite beers" of the night go to the Allagash Curieux and Wolaver's Wit, which is brewed with orange peel and coriander.

They were also selling belgian sausage and veggie kielbasa.. AND the most delicious waffles we've ever tasted.

Today we went to the Galleria to pick up Guitar Hero 3 (haaa) and then I went out to MassArt to meet up with Laura and check out the Mass Market. I bought some earrings that are these ridiculous shells wrapped in gold chain. Afterwards we walked around and caught up and went to TJ's (oh how I miss you,..) to get some lovely groceries.
