Tonight I hung out at the Saucer from the time I got off work until the end of the Dempseys’ first set a 11:00. Needless to say I was hammered.
Upon leaving I decided to go someplace I haven’t gone in years: Denny’s at Third and Union, open 24 hours. I ordered one of their combo breakfasts. Last time I went there (2003 probably) it took 35 minutes to get my food. This time? 7 minutes. I timed it.
I’ve thought about this before… about 4 months ago I came up with The Ultimate First Date in my mind. It consists of 1) The Cove; 2) Raiford’s; 3) Denny’s. Details:
1) Get to The Cove about 9-10. Order food, drinks, whatever. See if she figures out how unique the place is, and not just a place to get drunk. The decor, the drink menu, the movies, conversations with the bartenders are all giveaways.
2) Raiford’s around 12-1. This is slightly early to go to Raiford’s and assumes it’s her first time. Gives her time to accilimate herself to the place. If she says, “This sucks, can we go to Senses?”, she’s FINISHED.
3) Denny’s. This is not for the food (obviously it’s not going to win any awards) but to see if she can laugh.
Yes I just listed Denny’s as an ultimate date destination.
Yes I’m drunk… but I’ve thought about this not drunk many times.
