[01:33] <cmaloney> That Good eh?
[01:34] <rick_h_> production server goes boom, no one around, announcement and blog posts on Monday :)
[01:34] <rick_h_> pretty good
[01:34] <cmaloney> Oh, nice!
[01:35] <rick_h_> sitting here with the laptop trying to run queries and lessons from the elastic search docs and books I just bought to hit my dev instance and figureout how things work enough to debug prod without access to prod
[18:04] <cmaloney> heylo
[18:45] <jrwren> good afternoon
[19:22] <rick_h_> party
[21:52] <rick_h_> jrwren: need help finding a good anniversary dinner place in downtown AA this next weekend
[21:52] <rick_h_> jrwren: any suggestions for great food/wine?
[22:37] <brousch> WhyAA?
[22:39] <brousch> My vote: http://www.muer.com/gandy-dancer/
[22:40] <rick_h_> brousch: wife and I have a baby sitter and it's close, nice, some walkable downtown, etc
[22:41] <brousch> That one is outside of downtown
[23:32] <cmaloney> Phew
[23:41] <jrwren> rick_h_: I'd get the tasting at Logan
[23:41] <jrwren> rick_h_: or, just go to the chophouse, you can't really go wrong there.
[23:41] <rick_h_> jrwren: wine tasking?
[23:41] <jrwren> rick_h_: for something lighter, Mani or Insalita are both awesome.
[23:41] <rick_h_> tasting?
[23:42] <jrwren> rick_h_: no, its the chef's tasting menu
[23:42] <rick_h_> ah, gotcha
[23:42] <jrwren> The sommelier at chophouse is great.
[23:42] <jrwren> but I also think wine is bullshit :)
[23:43] <rick_h_> lol
[23:43] <rick_h_> k, will look into those
[23:43] <jrwren> if you are looking for very fine and fancy then gandy dancer or chophouse are the AA togo places.
[23:43] <jrwren> I've never been to gandy.
[23:43] <jrwren> chophouse i've been to many times, it does not disappoint.
[23:43] <rick_h_> just nice/good for 8yr anniv
[23:44] <rick_h_> cool
[23:45] <greg-g> what about the grange?
[23:46] <jrwren> just nice/good? I'd totally skip that fancy stuff and hit up insalita or mani
[23:46] <jrwren> I've heard good things about grange.
[23:46] <greg-g> I liked it
[23:46] <rick_h_> location is important to make an evening of it
[23:46] <greg-g> rick_h_: grange is downtown
[23:46] <rick_h_> something in downtown, walkable to other stuff. Maybe some coffee, etc
[23:46] <jrwren> this is all downtown.
[23:46] <greg-g> ah
[23:46] <rick_h_> k
[23:47] <jrwren> insalita is "mexican street food", but its oh so oh so oh so good.
[23:47] <greg-g> :)
[23:47] <jrwren> zomg, I'm getting hungry and i just ate dinner.
[23:47] <rick_h_> but brousch hooked us up so well for GR that we figured we should ask people for stuff at locations they live out at more often :)
[23:47] <rick_h_> greg-g: will be hit up soon!
[23:47] <jrwren> The ceviche tacos were amazing, as was the lobster enchelada
[23:48] <rick_h_> greg-g: we found a wine train that will take the little guy. We're debating hard
[23:48] <rick_h_> jrwren: oh, that's nice. I've not had any good mexican in a while
[23:48] <jrwren> this is nothing like any mexican i'd ever had.
[23:48] <jrwren> its fancy panced up mexican.
[23:49] <jrwren> its all small plates, so order like 4-6 plates and drinks.
[23:49] <greg-g> rick_h_: oh man
[23:49] <brousch> Did you enjoy the butterflies? We haven't gone yet this year
[23:49] <rick_h_> hah, might be worth a try
[23:49] <greg-g> wine train
[23:49] <cmaloney> That's called Tapas
[23:49] <jrwren> and its... oh man...
[23:49] <brousch> jrwren: tapas?
[23:49] <jrwren> cmaloney: in Spain!
[23:49] <rick_h_> brousch: yea, great time. The boy loved it. Saw the horse, boy was upset he couldn't ride it
[23:49] <jrwren> cmaloney is dead on right. Its a tapas place.
[23:49] <brousch> Ah good. I wasn't sure if it was all open due to snow
[23:49] <cmaloney> In Mexico, similar dishes are called "botanas."
[23:50] <cmaloney> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapas
[23:50] <rick_h_> greg-g: yea it's funny. My wife is like "I'd not pay $100 for him to ride the wine train" and I asked her if she'd pay $150 for each of us?
[23:50] <rick_h_> "well sure"
[23:50] <rick_h_> so we're set then :)
[23:50] <greg-g> hah
[23:50] <rick_h_> I love my wife sometimes. All the tricks to get her to agree to things hehe
[23:51] <rick_h_> brousch: but yea great day. So tired when we got home.
[23:51] <rick_h_> Hit up this little deli on market street by the museum for lunch. All worked out great
[23:52] <rick_h_> parking sucked though, the thing filled 4 cars in front of us and we had to go back across the bridge and paid $15 for a 4hr session :/
[23:53] <jrwren> what is that tapas place in GR? that place was good too.
[23:53] <cmaloney> GRapas
[23:53] <jrwren> I remember the scalops in particular being very good
[23:53] <brousch> yuck
[23:53] <brousch> jrwren: San Chez Bistro
[23:53] <jrwren> yes. GOOD
[23:53] <jrwren> you don't likes?
[23:53] <brousch> One of the regular meeting places is on the 3rd floor above it
[23:54] <brousch> I like San Chez. I was yucking rick_h_ 's parking woes
[23:54] <jrwren> ah!
[23:55] <brousch> I was kind of disappointed in the exhibit. It's attracting much bigger crowds than it deserves. But with the donos there I guess it makes sense
[23:55] <brousch> dinos
[23:55] <rick_h_> brousch: yea, I thought the same. It was kind of meh
[23:55] <rick_h_> but the kids loved it enough that you just go for them
[23:55] <rick_h_> and gaves the parents talking time
[23:55] <rick_h_> figured it must be so busy becuse with the cold/snow they're not taking their kids to parks much or anything
[23:57] <brousch> Did you go to the dino exhibit?
[23:57] <brousch> Those are impressive, but they have been making the rounds for a while now
[23:57] <rick_h_> yea, we did the dinos, the carosel, got tickets to do the planetarium but missed the time
[23:58] <brousch> Heh, that always happens with the planetarium
