Tasting/tour of potential wedding venue.

The most excellent fiancé and I had a tasting at reBar last night, and it was so much better than I imagined. We kept asking them if it was a trap.

We were happily sampling wine and our first appetizer until we realized that the couple next to us was taking meticulous notes on everything. We had been operating on a grading system of Awesome or What? Even More Awesome so we felt the need to step up our game. Here are my meticulous notes about our tasting.


We vowed not to eat everything they gave us so that we could actually eat the entrees when they arrived but that was before we encountered the macaroni and cheese. Cheese madness ensued, rendering the previous logic unsound.



The couple next to us were really serious about note taking. There was a large wedding binder and a tote bag filled with papers and notes that were presumably typed from the yellow notepad the future-groom was scribbling everything down in. I feel like they are those people that when you go into the Container Store, they are the people that buy those things and take them home and can utilize pretty boxes on modern shelves to create a lovely and organized space. Whereas I go to the Container Store and think "I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna be organized and productive!!!" and then I buy a bunch of boxes but in reality now I just have pink boxes sitting underneath of all of my other unorganized stuff.



After eating all the appetizers there ever were and an entree, we got a tour of the place. I had suspected earlier that we weren't really in this place and that we'd both been Incepted. After seeing this one room that I'm fairly sure was built by the dream-addled corners of my imagination I was about 90% someone was going to need to kick a chair or something to wake us up out of it.


I didn't forget how to draw, my notes were all done via rough finger painting on my iPhone. The fiancé couldn't help because he was still in the thrall of cheese madness.


The best part was at the end when they brought out a plate filled with little glasses, and those glasses were filled with various dessert things. One was rice pudding, one was strawberry/rhubarb something or other and the last thing was a cake, but it tasted exactly like a Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie. It was amazing.

In conclusion, I didn't really need to take any notes, 'cause the place is pretty much everything we wanted. Wedding venue is go!

Necklaces

I got a custom request for a necklace that had a cupcake eating a Batman on it, to match her Batman eating a cupcake necklace.

Shadow man

Been busy working on projects I can't post. Quick sketch.



In other news, two of my sketches/watercolors from Dr. Sketchy's were in the Dr. Sketchy's international exhibition in Hanover Germany. Read about the opening here.
