Well, it is a gorgeous Saturday in Cincinnati today. The temperature is high-80s, but the breeze makes it feel like mid-70s. I will, sadly, only dream of enjoying the day. I am learning very quickly that such is the life of the young entrepreneur. Besides DispatchThis, I have been offered a pretty cool consulting job up in Cleveland. To the chagrin of my girlfriend and parents, however, I am not allowed to discuss anything thanks to those lovely NDAs us startup programmers are so often obliged to sign. Between the two jobs, I seem to be spending a lot of time getting to know my computer.

Even with work, the last two nights have been pretty exciting. Thanks to my friend, Matt Kelley, being in town, I have been forced to go out and enjoy myself. Thursday night we grabbed a bunch of friends and hit up the Blue Note, an awesome jazz/rock bar here in Cinci. Thursday night at the Blue Note, though, is College Night, which means 25 cent drafts and dollar well drinks. A few of the bands left quite a bit to be desired, but with quarter drafts, who could complain?

Last night, Matt and I went to La Rosa’s and enjoyed a fabulous meal. For those of you who do not know the glory of La Rosa’s, it is an incredible pizza chain here in Cincinnati. While I enjoyed half of their Lil’ Italy covered with spinach and mushrooms, Matt enjoyed the other half covered with the toppings of their famous Montgomery Bar-B-Cue. The best part, however, was their kettle chips. Not only are they made fresh to order, they come with nectar of the gods that they call Diablo Sauce. Not only does this ambrosia embody a wonderful plane of spiciness, it has a rich sweet flavor unlike anything I have ever tasted. If anyone knows if they sell it in stores, let me know and then buy stock in it.

After our gullets were full with Italian awesomeness, we traveled to this café/bar called the Silverton Café. Our friend Brice was DJing the karaoke, so we met up with a bunch of friends to hang out there with him. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised with the place. It was one of those local bars where you only go if a regular invites you. In the back they had a whole graveyard of awesome games from the past four decades. Our favorite was the ski ball bowling that only cost a quarter. Between that, shuffleboard, darts, and video games, all the grounds were covered. If you’re looking for a great little bar in Cincinnati, I would definitely recommend the Silverton Café.

Well, I guess that is enough procrastinating for now. Back to work.

    You left out something between work, work, bars, work, and work. Don’t make me say it out loud.
