We had a great time with Beth and Jake this past weekend. Friday night Beth, Jake and I went a Ted Leo and the Pharmacists show at Dartmouth. They pretended they were students, we got in for free, and had free beer, water and candy. (Ann stayed home with Sadie). It was a great show, and we were all seriously deaf when we got home. It was amazing just to be out at a concert - thanks for letting me go, Ann!

On Saturday we drove up to Waterbury, VT. We took a quick tour of the Ben & Jerry's factory - our free samples were Triple Caramel Crunch (which was wicked good), Sweet Cream and Cookies and Oatmeal Cookie Chunk. While you are at the Ben & Jerry's website, be sure to vote to raise your favorite flavor from the graveyard!

After the tour we checked out The Alchemist, a new brewpub in Waterbury. The beer and food were excellent. We especially enjoyed the fries with garlic mayonnaise, and I loved the Holy Cow IPA and Grote Bruin.

Also of note - Jake and I passed the first three levels of co-op mode of James Bond: Everything or Nothing (although we kept getting our ass kicked on the fourth) and had great fun making two guys kiss in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Jake needs to get a Playstation so he can practice up.
