Anyway, one of the top people of half.com (that&#8217;s the department he&#8217;s in at eBay) came out from San Jose to do a training, and since Jeff went to eBay live last year along with Larry (his old supervisor) and Jodi (one of his team members), Jodi decided to throw together a last minute dinner, and we went!&nbsp; Aside from Susie, Jodi, Larry, Jeff and myself, Jeff&#8217;s team lead Brooke was there as well.&nbsp; I guess as respect for their privacy, we just got pictures of me and Jeff, but the place we went to is called the Bayou and it&#8217;s downtown.&nbsp; They serve cajiun food, and it was DELISH.&nbsp; They also have the largest beer menu I have ever seen in my life; they server 256 different beers, and have 32 different ones on tap!&nbsp; Anyway, I had something called Crawfish Etouffee over rice and Jeff had a hamburger.&nbsp; Here&#8217;s some pictures of our night out!<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_76OUC9HBV_k\/SafpRB0PAgI\/AAAAAAAAAUk\/npgy7L8eb6Q\/s1600-h\/bayou1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;\">&nbsp;Yes, we&#8217;re drinking alcohol, so we&#8217;ll get that out of the way.. spare the lectures please.&nbsp; We&#8217;re responsible drinkers and we drink so infrequently, maybe 3 or 5 times a year at the most, and it&#8217;s ALWAYS just one serving of alcohol.&nbsp; This was actually my first time drinking out in public.&nbsp; Anyway, this beer I had was&#8230; amazing.&nbsp; One of my issues with beer is that it tastes disgusting.&nbsp; Being a fruity drink lover, I had the <i>Lindemans Peche: Lambic<\/i>, which is basically a peach flavored beer, it actually tasted quite a bit like a peach flavored soda, but you could taste that it was alcoholic.&nbsp; And Jeff, since he has not had good luck with beer, decided to pick his drink based soley off of the name <i>Squatters: Captain Bastard<\/i>.&nbsp; I had a sip of it and it can only be described as bitter, and it tasted like they ran it through cofee grinds.&nbsp; And Jodi had this cherry flavored beer brewed by the same company as the beer I had, and it was just like a cherry flavored soda.. yummies but I like peach more than cherry.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;

She looked at him and said &#8220;Yours will be out in a few minutes, I dropped your sandwich.&#8221; which resulted in his eyes completely bugging out.&nbsp; He said &#8220;I&#8221;m so inspecting my food for dirt.&#8221; and of course there was teasing involved.&nbsp; Brooke who was sitting next to Larry looked at his plate and said &#8220;Is that a hair?&#8221;, which of course freaked him out.&nbsp; The best part is that we didn&#8217;t have to pay for dinner!&nbsp; I guess Susie got permission to cover our dinner and have it reimbursed by eBay.&nbsp; Yay!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>>Okay, I have to admit, Jeff and I almost NEVER have the chance to go out without the girls.&nbsp;
