Goombas and 1-ups…

March 3, 2008 · 1 Comment

After a meal of ceviche and mojitos on the LES last night, we ventured out to Brooklyn to a bar that I’ve been meaning to visit for roughly 3 years… Barcade.  The place was amazing – great microbrews and the walls are lined with video games.  The games are all the ones that I grew up with.  I was amazed at Christie’s Mario Bros. skills.  She remembered all the secrets – the hidden 1-ups and even the secret path on level 1-2 that lets you warp up to the 4th world.  I don’t know if I’ve ever been prouder of her.  It put my skills to shame.

Woke up severely hung over and tired this morning, but we pushed through and did an 8 mile run.  I’m regretting that now… I feel absolutely exhausted and feverish.  Last night was worth it, though!
