And the Search Continues....with a Side of Porkbelly Tacos....

Wednesday night.  8:00.  Soul Gastrolounge.  Porkbelly tacos and sushi.  Holy crap that was some good food.  The guy:  Justin.  Not much to look at  (ok, he was average), horrible posture, 5' 9", but seems much shorter because I was wearing heels.  But we got along well and the conversation flowed.  He was in a sling due to recent shoulder surgery.

The bar/restaurant was hopping.  It was a Wednesday!  What are all you people doing here???  So, we had to wait for a table.  While we did so, we went downstairs to a really cool art gallery/bar that I'd never heard of.  When we went back upstairs, our table was just about ready and were seated pretty quickly.  Like I said before, the food was great and they had Two Hearted.  Yeah - I'll be going back there for sure.

When we were finished, I was 10:30 - way past my bedtime.  But, stupid me agreed to go over to Common Market for a beverage.  Stupid, stupid, stupid.  This lead to a make out session in the car.  I was out was too late - especially for a first date.  The next morning I couldn't get out of bed for work on time!  Ridiculous.  I did make it in to work only shortly after I really should have been there, but I was exhausted - and I had a date that night too.  Thursday:  Chris.  Reservations for restaurant week at Fiamma - probably the best Italian restaurant in town.

Around noon Chris sent me a text saying that he was really sorry, but that he had to cancel.  He is an attorney and his team had a deadline for a big case on Thursday and they were all going to have to work really late.  Yep - I think I get cancelled on more than I actually go on dates.  This is why you have to set so many up......

I told him it was ok and that I'd cancel our reservation.  He wants to reschedule for next week, but didn't tell me a day.  So, we'll see.

Tonight (Friday) on tap:  Crap, I can't remember his name.  Oh yeah - Alan.  We are having drinks right after work at Braswell's.

I'm continually updating my Phuktard spreadsheet with details.  Someday, maybe I'll attach it to a post.  We'll see.....
