I fondly remember my first time in an arcade bar. It was Emporium in Chicago, I was visiting my oldest brother, I had just turned 18, and I had a fake ID. Between the games and the craft beer scene just starting to explode, I knew it was a magical place.
Now I’m 26, and 1Up bars here in Denver are kinda grimy/gross most of the time, but they have phenomenal value for the games and the drink prices aren’t too pricey relative to other LoDo bro bars. Still not a bad way to start or end a night.
It may not be about the groom, but since I’m paying for half, fuck me if I’m not going to ensure I enjoy the menu choices and have an open bar. Also, my fiancee wants an outdoor ceremony, and I think that’s fine, but I’m putting my foot down on having it somewhere that if weather sucks ass we can easily move it indoors.
Had to Google where Midtown is, lol. Looks like it’s to too far from Balistreri Vineyards which we checkout out for our wedding venue. I highly recommend it if you haven’t been, free tastings and the food is great.
I’ve been here four years and live in Uptown/North Cap Hill (by the yuppie bars) and work in LoDo on Blake Street (by the drunk sports bars and fancy bars). Denver is the fucking best. Rent/housing cost sucks, but the city proper is so much more thriving and walkable than other cities its size, and there is so much to do in the city and out in the mountains.
Future Mrs. LoadLetter and I are looking to rent a house when our lease is up in May, but fuck me if i’ll move to the suburbs. Lower Highlands/Sunnyside is far as I’m going. You’ll see us hanging out of our second-floor office window during the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in a couple weeks. Hit us up anytime!
We got engaged in October and are planning on May 2019 but haven’t formally set a date. Is having a long engagement considered heinous to the Fitzpatricks or what?
That sucks. Also if your friend and his wife can’t cook for shit, they shouldn’t be hosting dinner parties, especially if they live way out in the ‘burbs.
I hear yah, way more manageable if he’s been working full-time for a bit. Sounds like he has his shit together. When I was 24, I considered getting twenty bucks free for spending $500 at the liquor store a good financial win.
Yeah dude, but you have a job right? Somebody who at worst is actively accruing massive debt and at best is not making much money working part-time while in school is going to have more trouble than your or I at saving up a significant down payment or a smaller down payment plus PMI each month.
If they’re paying their own bills, that is. I was also trying to clarify he hadn’t just bought an apartment in NYC, which is a little different than buying a new house in Boise.
It sucks not having somebody to save your spot (though that doesn’t work perfectly if it’s sold out either), but I being able to pound beers, get my groove on, and stay through the fifth encore without worrying about other people in the squad not being into the music.
Entertaining my aunt and uncle for dinner tonight. Pulling out all the stops. Pouilly-Fuisse with some home-shucked oysters to start it off, then seared flank steak with tomatillo-chimichurri sauce and fresh green beans and salad, and popovers for dessert.
My aunt’s the best and my uncle gave me my first real summer job and countless hours of free legal advice so it’s just a drop in the bucket compared to that.
They’re also late-sixties/early-seventies, so they won’t stay late, and then I can brownout on G&Ts.

My company’s president regularly Slack messages me “thx” to end conversations, so an emoji wouldn’t be a step up.

Dave, now that I know you’re a real person you’re growing on me. Have a great weekend.
Gotta at least provide some seasoning or you’re just mainlining plant fat.
Outside of Manhattan and SF, thinking six figures is “average” is largely a problem of having to keep up with the Joneses.
The people that don’t remove the Keurig pod after they done are fucking savages.
