After Beal spent the summer here in Seattle, she decided to head home to San Antonio for a job. We decided to send her off with a dinner at Buca's then drinks at the Liquid Lounge.

Maria and Beal
After bonding during MTS, we were thrilled to have Maria joining us for dinner at Bucas!

Chad
Next door neighbor Chad joined us for dinner too. He seemed pretty excited about being there and was grinning the whole time!

Dave and the Statue
Some enjoyed the food, others enjoyed the company... Dave seemed to really enjoy the statue. :)

Liquid Lounge
Tuesday nights at the EMP's Liquid Lounge featured DJs spinning electronic music. There was always a good crowd, never a cover, and it was our weekly tradition. We decieded this was the perfect end to a summer of fun.

Party Girl
The girl of the hour takes a breather from dancing and mingling to enjoy her drink...

Group
Jake, Bart, Beal, Dave, and Moses all squish together for a group shot

Jake & Beal
Always could sense the sexual tension between these two. Even if nothing were to ever happen, they always seemed to have fun flirting.

Me and Brett
Moses's friend and former coworker Brett also happened to be at the EMP that night. He was a nice guy, and will hopefully be joining us for Halloween festivities...

Dieter rocks
Dieter was studying during Beal's party, but came over the following night to hang out. He even brought my favorite ice cream! Amazing!

Beal's hooked too!
I introduced my ice cream habit to Beal early in the summer, and by her final night in town, she too was hooked on Safeway's Cappuccino Chip. I think it even cured her migrain! Bye Beal! Thanks for a fabulously fun summer!

The Couch that made it all possible!
How could we leave out this lovely piece of furniture? It was free, from the Fremont Arts Council garage sale, and without it, Beal wouldn't have had a place to sleep all summer in Seattle. Goodbye to Beal, and many thanks to the couch!
