In June 2007 John and Susan moved to San Francisco. We went to their going away party and it was a great time. Shortly after that – like a week later – Allison moved to San Francisco. I was stuck in New York for work and couldn’t make it to her going away party. I think John and Susan’s party was the last time I saw Allison in Chicago. In all the times I traveled to California when I worked at Google I was only able to meet up with Allison one time, back in August 2007. I think she’s been to Chicago since, but I was out of town. Anyway, what I’m trying to get it is that we haven’t seen Allison much since she moved so we were really excited that she was in town this weekend.. and that she was bringing her boyfriend, Herm, with whom she just celebrated their 1 year dating anniversary.
For dinner we went to Piazza Bella, which I thought was fabulous. Up til a week ago we lived not even a block away from this restaurant, but we hardly ever went. Afterward we went to The Village Tap, which of course I’ve been to billion times. For some reason there was an Irish Car Bomb throw down between Trent and Herm. Everyone did 3 of them each and in the end, with the aid of video, it was determined that Trent drank them the fastest. It was fantastic to see Allison again and she was a great sport. When you get together old friends with a new boyfriend…. let’s just say that there was a lot of story telling going on. Herm was great. Dishing it, taking it, fitting right in. Allison is doing really well for herself out in San Francisco but I must admit selfishly that we miss having her around.
