Easter Weekend with Offline Guy

Since our office was closed on Good Friday, a bunch of co-workers went to happy hour. It was also a goodbye happy hour for the one guy who was starting a new job the following Monday. I invited "offline guy" since we were going to a bar that he and I both hadn't been to before. I was a bit freaked out because he was supposed to meet me there but I was running late. Fortunately, he got there after I did since I gave one of my coworkers a description of him, but she'd obviously never met him and it was very crowded.

"Offline guy" met the coworkers and seems to have passed that test. He also liked my coworkers and found them very fun and interesting - a good sign! We stayed for a couple drinks and then headed out to get some dinner. We ended up back at the bar we frequent and ended up hanging out with my roommate and some other friends. The rest of the night we hung out on the porch, enjoying an early start to the weekend.

The rest of the weekend we spent at our regular bar, hanging out and playing darts since it was pretty quiet because of the holiday. Sunday I went to my mom's house for Easter dinner and then he came over later to play NHL 06. It was fun! However, I haven't played video games in probably about 10 years, so I had to re-adjust to the new, fancy controllers. They're definitely more complicated than my old Nintendo controllers. Needless to say, I lost every NHL 06 game except one because he was trying to start a fight and not paying as much attention to defending my players. I guess that makes up for the fact that I won all of the dart games during the weekend.

Easter weekend with "offline guy" turned out to be very fun and it sucked when it had to end. However, I did have Carnival to look forward to that coming Thursday so it was a great distraction.
