nucky's speakeasy

 this afternoon i went to an event at Nucky's speakeasy in Anoka. it was my second time doing speed dating, and the first time in two months. the time allotment was for six hours, but it didn't last that long. the speed dating part wrapped up around 6pm, and the scheduled start was 3pm to be signed in and get a drink. during my time there, i drank one beer and then had some ice water. guess there was an Elvis impersonator performing later on, but i noticed most people left shortly after speed dating was done. this was one reason why i left when most others did, also because it was getting crowded there and i got sticker shock when looking at the food menu. i pulled one from a wall caddy and the bartender said that one wasn't in force for the night, which didn't make sense to me at all. i would like to think there is a better chance that i get a match this time, as the organizers said we can pick five instead of three. i recognized one date from the event of two months ago but didn't let on about that. either way, i know it is important to do events like these as i haven't done internet dating in years. it was time to eat the evening meal and when i got close to home i stopped at a popeye's chicken place. the super bowl had just been in new orleans so that place was on my mind. when i got home i watched a DVD movie, 'catch-22'. it was a recent purchase from barnes and noble. due to the event in the afternoon, my visit to aldi for groceries was moved up. i went there shortly after getting back from having a sandwich at Jersey Mike's for lunch. in the morning i went to the post office, one order was picked up. i also went to the copy store and printed a receipt for a ticket to a st. paul saints baseball game that had just been ordered. when i got home i found out the actual ticket was in a separate email that went to the junk pile. i moved it to the main inbox and will print it on my next visit. during my walks i found 12 cents.
