Tonight Katie and I headed down to Four Peaks Brewery on 8th Street for dinner. Obviously before eating we walked past Uranus Recording next door and took some photos of the revamped studio. Not that the only difference is the huge Stratocaster on the roof, a sign replacing the Mayberry Studios sign, and the door painted blue to match the sign. It was cool, not that I still don't support the new name Uranus Recording.

We wandered back to Four Peaks - funnily enough the guy out the front checking I.Ds was reading a book on checking I.Ds! Katie commented on how appropriate that book was! Also funny, I got carded. I think that's the first time I ever have in Tempe. In anycase, we went in and grabbed a seat outside - it was such a nice night in Tempe, there was a cool breeze (the whole day had been pretty nice, considering it was the middle of May in the desert) and it was heading towards dusk. It was really nice just to sit back, relax and enjoy the great weather. I ended up having an 8th Street Ale and 8th Street Beer Batter Chicken Strips. When choices are hard, go with the meal with the cool name - or at least that's what I was say. Both were excellent! I was quite hungry, so the big serving was also welcomed. I can't think of a better way to spend tonight.

After we finished our meal, we drove down Rio Salado, which I had mentioned to Katie earlier it would be cool to do, as I've never been past Ash Ave. on Rio Salado. It was a nice drive around the east side of town, the majority of which I'd not seen before. On getting back to Mill, Katie asked if I wanted an ice-cream. Sounded great - we drove out Baskin Robbins on McClintock. Katie got an impressively gross tasting "rock 'n pop swirl". After our massive ice-creams, we decided we needed something to wash it down - on the way home, we stopped at the Quicktrip for fountain drinks. I got a 52 oz Coke - for 99 freakin' cents! Which rounded out the 20 minutes of cheap excessiveness!
