So last night was a blast. The UGA Alumni Association hosted an event at the Sweetwater Brewery in Atlanta, so Courtney, Ann, and I got dolled up to go mingle and network. I mean, what a great opportunity to make connections, right?
Well, it ended up feeling more like we were back in a bar in Athens, except on a classier level. It was still a blast though. Plus we looked cute.
It was all you can drink Sweetwater beer, which was awesome because we got to sample the different kinds, and I discovered a new favorite. We saw a few friends from school, and even got a picture with Hairy Dawg, the Georgia mascot, which we never actually managed to get while we were in school.
Courtney, Hairy, Ann, and I
We stayed and mingled for a few hours, grabbed a couple of freebies, and then decided to head out. Next stop, Decatur. We picked up a friend and headed for Twain's in downtown Decatur, where we ordered an obscene amount of bar food. Try, deep fried green beans, sweet potato fries, deep fried macaroni and bacon bits, wings, and chips and dip. It was a pig-out heaven.
Our deep fried green beans and some of the best sweet potato fries ever. So delicious, and oh-so-Southern. Yum.
After that we headed for another bar that was fairly empty so we were all able to chill out and get to know one of Courtney's co workers and his brother that had met up with us. All in all, it was a great night.
At the start of the night, we were hoping for a little more networking possibilities, but instead had a great night on the town with great friends. It was a much needed and long awaited evening of relaxation.
Although I feel so old with how tired I am after getting in at 3:30 AM. Probably why this doesn't happen very often anymore.
