Meet and Greet x 2
Monday, August 14, 2006This weekend turned out to be a good one in the meeting of women department! Not only did I get to meet Double Blind Girl but I also ended up being matchmade with yet another gal as well!
The Double Blind Date wasn't really much of a "date" since it ended up being her and I as well as Conservative Girl, her brother and DBG's Coworker with the Same Name. It was fun though, we all met up at Irish Fair and enjoyed the time. DBG is pretty, not my usual type but pretty none the less. We chatted about work and all that jazz over a couple beers and some live music. She lives pretty close to me so hopefully we can meet up and hang out again soon. It basically went as expected, nothing major came of it, but hopefully it'll be a new friend around!
Also at the Irish Fair, there was a booth in the marketplace tents called Lisdoonvarna Come to Minnesota. Apparently, Lisdoonvarna is a town in Ireland and every year in September is becomes a site of pilgrimage for single from all over the world. People meet up there and matchmakers will try and find them their perfect match. So you got to sit down and have an interview with this matchmaker and she scouted around the Irish Fair looking for a girl to be that perfect match. I figured why not and gave it a try. Yesterday the matchmaker called and said she had found someone she thought I would like and that The Match wanted to meet me. So I called The Match and we arranged to meet up at my place and then walk over to one of the local bars and have a drink. We hung out for about an hour or so and talked it up. She is quite pretty, and as an added plus, quite active with sports and whatnot. She's in soccer and volleyball leagues and as an added bonus, she's in a kickball league as well! She didn't stay long since she had a pretty long weekend, but we talked of getting together one day soon when we could. I have Tuesday night free, so I figure I will ask her if she wants to grab a bite to eat after work then. I'll be gone for most of the week, so if that doesn't work out hopefully we can get together next week.
The end of this week and through the weekend I'll be gone to Michigan to watch cars go in circles and take part in the general debauchery that is NASCAR at Michigan International Speedway. The last two years have been quite fun, as evidenced by the pictures from last year! Much fun was had and I'm sure will be again this year!
Here's hoping for some good dates and fun times at the races in the next week or so! In the meantime, keep slackin people!
