[01:32] Howdy [01:33] ugh [01:33] :) [01:33] That Good eh? [01:34] production server goes boom, no one around, announcement and blog posts on Monday :) [01:34] pretty good [01:34] Oh, nice! [01:35] 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] heylo [18:45] good afternoon [19:22] party [21:52] jrwren: need help finding a good anniversary dinner place in downtown AA this next weekend [21:52] jrwren: any suggestions for great food/wine? [22:37] WhyAA? [22:39] My vote: http://www.muer.com/gandy-dancer/ [22:40] brousch: wife and I have a baby sitter and it's close, nice, some walkable downtown, etc [22:41] That one is outside of downtown [23:32] Phew [23:41] rick_h_: I'd get the tasting at Logan [23:41] rick_h_: or, just go to the chophouse, you can't really go wrong there. [23:41] jrwren: wine tasking? [23:41] rick_h_: for something lighter, Mani or Insalita are both awesome. [23:41] tasting? [23:42] rick_h_: no, its the chef's tasting menu [23:42] ah, gotcha [23:42] The sommelier at chophouse is great. [23:42] but I also think wine is bullshit :) [23:43] lol [23:43] k, will look into those [23:43] if you are looking for very fine and fancy then gandy dancer or chophouse are the AA togo places. [23:43] I've never been to gandy. [23:43] chophouse i've been to many times, it does not disappoint. [23:43] just nice/good for 8yr anniv [23:44] cool [23:45] what about the grange? [23:46] just nice/good? I'd totally skip that fancy stuff and hit up insalita or mani [23:46] I've heard good things about grange. [23:46] I liked it [23:46] location is important to make an evening of it [23:46] rick_h_: grange is downtown [23:46] something in downtown, walkable to other stuff. Maybe some coffee, etc [23:46] this is all downtown. [23:46] ah [23:46] k [23:47] insalita is "mexican street food", but its oh so oh so oh so good. [23:47] :) [23:47] zomg, I'm getting hungry and i just ate dinner. [23:47] 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] greg-g: will be hit up soon! [23:47] The ceviche tacos were amazing, as was the lobster enchelada [23:48] greg-g: we found a wine train that will take the little guy. We're debating hard [23:48] jrwren: oh, that's nice. I've not had any good mexican in a while [23:48] this is nothing like any mexican i'd ever had. [23:48] its fancy panced up mexican. [23:49] its all small plates, so order like 4-6 plates and drinks. [23:49] rick_h_: oh man [23:49] Did you enjoy the butterflies? We haven't gone yet this year [23:49] hah, might be worth a try [23:49] wine train [23:49] That's called Tapas [23:49] and its... oh man... [23:49] jrwren: tapas? [23:49] cmaloney: in Spain! [23:49] brousch: yea, great time. The boy loved it. Saw the horse, boy was upset he couldn't ride it [23:49] cmaloney is dead on right. Its a tapas place. [23:49] Ah good. I wasn't sure if it was all open due to snow [23:49] In Mexico, similar dishes are called "botanas." [23:50] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapas [23:50] 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] "well sure" [23:50] so we're set then :) [23:50] hah [23:50] I love my wife sometimes. All the tricks to get her to agree to things hehe [23:51] brousch: but yea great day. So tired when we got home. [23:51] Hit up this little deli on market street by the museum for lunch. All worked out great [23:52] 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] what is that tapas place in GR? that place was good too. [23:53] GRapas [23:53] I remember the scalops in particular being very good [23:53] yuck [23:53] jrwren: San Chez Bistro [23:53] yes. GOOD [23:53] you don't likes? [23:53] One of the regular meeting places is on the 3rd floor above it [23:54] I like San Chez. I was yucking rick_h_ 's parking woes [23:54] ah! [23:55] 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] dinos [23:55] brousch: yea, I thought the same. It was kind of meh [23:55] but the kids loved it enough that you just go for them [23:55] and gaves the parents talking time [23:55] figured it must be so busy becuse with the cold/snow they're not taking their kids to parks much or anything [23:57] Did you go to the dino exhibit? [23:57] Those are impressive, but they have been making the rounds for a while now [23:57] yea, we did the dinos, the carosel, got tickets to do the planetarium but missed the time [23:58] Heh, that always happens with the planetarium
