We got a last minute invitation to Captain Chantelle's house for the Grateful Gluttons dinner and Halloween planning. We had dinner ahead of time at Young Augustine's and got to Chantelle's in time to listen to the planning of this Halloween's float.
Two things are constants now on Halloween: The Marching Skeletons and the bluegrass band, composed of various Grateful Gluttons. This year's new theme is "Tiki Terror!" Perhaps the Tiki Gods are angered by how we are treating the earth, with the gulf oil spill, etc. There will be future discussions on fund raising events and sales to buy materials for float building and costume making.
Speaking of Young Augustine's, we had such a good dinner that we decided we must go back soon with friends who haven't tried it yet, especially so John can have other beer-snobs to share in the joys of the huge selection of drafts and casks. And the fries cooked in duck fat, of course.
I tried to set up up a group dinner there on a Friday night within the next month but things are too busy already. Every weekend is starting to fill up again, starting with the big party at the House of Cats. Then various people are out of town for business. Then the geeks have DragonCon all Labor Day weekend. Then it's holidays from Halloween through New Years and beyond.
So we are going to meet for dinner at Young Augustine's tomorrow evening. It's dinner only, so we're hoping it will not / can not possibly be a late evening - much like the Buford Highway Restaurant Crawl nights, without going to a separate place for desert.
