spring happy hours!
various friends meet at a different brooklyn bar every wednesday (whether or not the bar in question has an actual happy hour price for drinks)
april 30th - bar reis
having arrived early, alex gets into the mood as he laughs and kicks off the first of the wednesday happy hours with a two for one drink special.
at opposite ends of the table, dan and jim get into a fight about the merits of the 2003 mets (or maybe it's a fight about the moral questions involved in stealing early copies of the new harry potter book). jason, jon and chase look on, wary about jumping in and facing jim's finger pointing wrath!
anne joins the back patio crowd and wisely opts for a jacket, as the weather just doesn't seem spring-like.
also making their faces known at happy hour are sujan, mitch & chris.
of course, it's down to jamie and jim who fight it out for drunkest of the night. jim, for letting jamie grab his ears? or jamie, for actually grabbing jim's ears?
june 7th - the gate
two jims (sort of like that movie "two ninas" but without the presence of ron livingston)
as jamie enjoys the outdoor patio at the gate, sarah scans the menu book looking for just the right dinner option. she, matt and a few others eventually opt for pressed sandwiches (i think).
as matt and jim drool over thoughts of pressed sandwiches (or maybe chinese?), margaret glares are marc because the only soap opera he admits to following is 'everwood.'
dan, sujan and mary discuss wednesday night things
jamie wonders why sarah would laugh so much about marc offering her tickets to go see robbie williams in a free concert sponsored by mtv.
sandwich time!
bart joins in on the fun, happy that wednesday is a night he doesn't have to work. marc dresses for spring and while trying to grow a beard, proves to be the drunkest of the night. kenny and sheila discuss upcoming kickball matters. and jamie and kaci pose for the camera (all four photos by kaci)
june 14th - soda
alex, jamie, sarah and matt get the drinking started early on what is becoming the outdoor patio of the summer - but be warned, the patio closes at 11pm.
kaci and richard join the group
with kris in the background, jim tells how he was recently mugged (or maybe not, i just noticed that people are laughing...hmmm...i don't remember what he was talking about).
mary and chris make their first happy hour appearance as an engaged couple! everyone offers a hearty congratulations!
is there anything better than polishing off basket after basket of fries, onion rings and burgers?
june 21st - boat
with rain in the air, happy hour makes the movie indoors. sujan makes sure she sits between jim and dan, hoping to break up any fight that may occur.
mike
bart
a ny times reporter randomly enters the bar and interviews bart about the smoking ban.
anne
donovan & amy
nothing like hearty laughter (alex & anne) and goofy camera poses (jamie) to know that happy hour wednesdays are fun times!
