Old Friends, New Boys

Last night was a great time. Eric and I went out again, it may sound like we do this often, but we really don't. Becky is in town and she can get anyone to go out. And Kaylee is at the age where we feel really comfortable leaving her with family (My folks babysat..Thanks!). Anyways, we started the night with a couple drinks down Congress on our way to the Congress Bridge to watch the bats. We dropped in Elephant Room, which is where Eric and I went on our very first date. It is a dark bar that is sort of a basement and has great jazz music. We hadn't been there in years and so nice to see where it all began. Then, we finally made it to the bridge and just in time. August is the best month to see the bats...there was sooo many. It looked like black smoke in the sky! It was cool, but pretty anti-climatic....the bats leave the bridge and that is about it. Then, we are off to Kenichi for sushi. We met up with another old friend and her date, so 6 in all. We got to our table with a bottle of champagne waiting for us, we are kind of a big deal (j/k!). We went to make a toast, but we weren't celebrating anything really. So we decided to toast to "Old Friends, New Boys". It was a shout out to our long girl friendship and the great guys in our life...we've come a long way from our middle school crushes. Several waiters would stop by and ask what we were celebrating (I think we may have been a bit loud) and well that was our answer. Eric proceeded to show everyone the PROPER way to do Sake Bombs, boy did we have fun. Then, Becky's date asked the waiter what rolls went well with sake bombs...the waiter's face was priceless! Unfortunately, they don't pair sake bombs with anything! We ate lots of awesome sushi and when we asked for our check the waiter said it was taken care of! We were puzzled and the waiter replied to "Old Friends, New Boys". It was awesome.
