Indubitably, my good man!

Last night disc0 and I had a good old fashioned GAME NIGHT! It was cold-ish, but we walked over to Guthrie's Tavern in Wrigleysville. Guthrie's is one of the first places I ever visited in Chicago, back in the summer of aught five. It's even more fun in the winter, because of the warm-up drinks and the way the front windows get all frosty as the crowds pile in to the bar. And I seriously can't explain how awesome it is that bars are non-smoking now all over the city.

We had yummy drinks: hot toddies to warm up, and then delicious Left Hand Milkstout Beer (mmmm...beer). They don't serve much in the way of food at Guthrie's, but they have a big old pail of delivery menus! I love this concept, and Chicago bars are all about it. So we ordered a pan pizza from D'agostinos. FYI, and as we learned last night, a pan pizza is not in fact a hand tossed pizza, but instead it is a stuffed pizza with slightly less cheese - a healthy choice. (not.) Anyway, the food from outside and the drinks from inside were yummo.

The best part about Guthrie's is their fully stocked game cabinet. We started off with Stratego (it's kind of boring and violent and disc0 won - boo) then we played a couple of games of Ticket to Ride! I had never played before, but heard all about it from Beck and Gar. That game is much fun and has trains in it, which makes it even better.

Yay for game night!

Yay for Ticket to Ride! The bestest game ever. Oh how I love Chicago and that feeling of being all warm and cozy while it's blustery outside.

Now, we all have to play Ticket to Ride. With 4 people you get to put your trains going both directions on the tracks!!!!
