A Long Needed Night of Fun

Yesterday marked a large milestone in my life.  I finished my first year of the Radiography program.  My second year in the program will be spent at a brand new campus in Downtown Fort Worth. Last night my classmates decided we need to go check out our new digs and then go out for a night of celebration in Downtown Fort Worth.

We started out at UNO, one of those ridiculously overpriced pizza, pasta type Italian places. I had a 9 dollar Cobb salad, it was good but no salad is worth 9 dollars, I could have made it myself for 5 and it probably would have been better.  I also enjoyed 2 large glasses of Blue Moon, a great beer for hot summer days.
 The whole gang...left to right, Jane, Chris, Michelle, Dennis, JP, Michelle, and Mark.





After dinner we headed off to my favorite place in Downtown Fort Worth, The Flying Saucer.  I had a great beer there I really don't recall the name at this point. It was hot on the roof but we managed to have a good time.






Next we were off to Scat, this is a weird little place.  You go down an alley and then take a random elevator( I can't remember if it goes up or down) to the club.  It is a really dark cool little Jazz club.  They had a band of Jazz players that were awesome.  I haven't heard such good jazz since I left Long Beach.  The drinks were really over priced but they were delicious and strong...I had a gin martini.







At this point my camera ran out of batteries...bummer.  But we managed to continue having a great time.  We tried to go to the Library but JP had pants that were too saggy?  They didn't care at the jazz club.  Anyway, the library is full of stupid college dorks anyway so we ended up at Dirty Murphy's where they serve tepid Guinness on tap and you can still smoke inside.  We were there for last call and finished out our night of drinking.  After that there was only only one place to go.  Old South Pancake House off of University in Fort Worth.  This place is the quintessential greasy spoon breakfast place and they have the best Belgian waffles in town, especially at 3 am after a night of drinking.  I finally headed home at 4 am and fell into my bed where I stayed until noon today.  I woke up with a head ache and am kind of tired but it was worth it.  I had a great time with my class mates and blew off some steam.
