it’s mainly about food, really

Two weeks ago I went with Ryan and the rest of the Avanade gang to Las Vegas for their regional flyback weekend. It was a pretty awesome trip and it was the first time I stayed off the Strip. I was skeptical at first, but soon found Red Rock to be one of my new favorite Vegas hotels.
To keep it brief, on Thursday and Friday while the guys were in their meetings, myself and the other significant others hit the pools, spa(!), lounges, and oyster bar inside the hotel. Afterward, we’d join them at their evening events, which included a poolside talent show party, bowling, plenty of good food and a lot of open bar. Overall, we had the chance to just enjoy all the hotel had to offer, which ended up being a blast, as well as being relaxing.
On Saturday, the 9 of us had plans to stay at New York, New York. Ryan and I hung out mainly around there, which worked out well. I think in the past I’ve spent entirely too much energy walking aimlessly up and down the Strip rather than really doing anything. Our half of the group did a little shopping, hit the casino, had dinner, saw shows, and ate dinner again FTW.
Sunday was short but still good. We visited the tables at New York, New York with the last of our chips and I later met up with my cousins for brunch with Rufino before heading out to the airport. Overall, great trip, one of my favorites to Vegas, which says much given how much I find myself there. :)

As many of you know, for the last 5 weeks we’ve been playing in a miniature golf league called Drinks on the Links through Underdog Sports. Basically you play once a week with with twenty other teams for mini golf glory. Actually, it really was just an excellent way to spend time outdoors with friends on a weeknight.
Here’s my team, the Muggle Putters!
Not pictured: Trevor & Ly
It was a pretty neat league and made for a fun and relaxing Wednesday night activity after work. Plus, there happens to be a keg in the middle of the course. (Small detail.) Most notably, if you got a hole-in-one, you win a free beer or t-shirt. Who can argue with that?
Anyway, thanks to those who made it out each week to play. And to those who didn’t take part, have no fear! Next round we can sign up multiple teams–didn’t realize how much putt-putt demand there was out there!
With that, one last hoorah for the Muggle Putters! We may not have placed, but at least we looked good. ;) Here’s us on our last game during theme night.
Yay!
More pics from the final game forthcoming.

Since today’s officially his birthday–Happy Birthday, Kevin!
View Kevin’s Flickr Photoset from last night.
Oh diVino, our new favorite wine bar in Seattle. <3
Interestingly, we also checked out the new Fusion Ultra Lounge on 45th which was pretty empty, but eh–private party?

This weekend Ryan and I hosted our fourth annual Cinco de Mayo party at my place. And since my camera’s broke and I’m now in the habit of sharing photos from other folks’ cameras, here are some pics from Kevin. Good times. My fridge is now packed with leftovers, particularly clams. But good stuff!

Today I went geocaching with Ryan and Kevin around Ravenna Park and the Arboretum. We found a record 9 caches in the three hours we were out and about. Glad it finally feels like Spring (minus the allergies).

Happy New Year +1 day!
This New Year’s eve I went out to dinner with friends at May Restaurant in Wallingford. The service was a bit slow, but otherwise the food and drinks were all pretty good and I really dig the ambiance of the place. It was also just nice being out on New Year’s Eve with friends, without the manic crowds or traffic.
Afterward everyone came back to my place for drinks, games, the countdown, and more games. The countdown was a minor part of the night and the fireworks show was a bit disappointing. In fact, was more enthused over the pop-sparkler things that Bree brought for us to pop at midnight. Also, I finally got to try hot buttered rum for the first time and unlike the fireworks, it lived up to its reputation (its warm, yummy reputation).
Afterward, we played everything from Taboo to Sequence to my new electronic Catch Phrase. We also played probably the best game of Cranium I’ve taken part of in ages (all-star team with Justin and Ly FTW!). Ultimately, we ending up playing poker ’til 4AM (even Ryan!) and it was a really good time.
