Eat.
Last night I went out to Pies & Pints for a Valentine’s Day dinner. I felt slightly nervous, because I was out with a girl I met recently, and was doing my best to not say something stupid or do something that might make a bad impression. Naturally the date started with missing the bus – by about a minute – and we spent the first fifteen or so minutes of the date out in the cold waiting for another COTA to come along. When the 2E showed up, we hopped on and were on the way down to the Short North. I checked Google Maps to make sure we would get off at the right stop, and as I looked up from my phone saw a sign that read “Pies & Pints”. I pulled the cord requesting a stop, and the bus took us about two blocks farther than we needed to go. She and I got off, walked back, and got seated. I managed to create some interesting conversation while we waited for the food, we learned about some of the crazier things we’ve done in our lives, and when our waitress returned with our food she told us, “So there are a few interesting things going on in the kitchen, and this pizza has the wrong sauce on it. We’re going to remake it correctly and bring that one out for free.” Nice turn of events. We got two pizzas for the price of one, all because some little topping was wrong.
We finished eating, got the check, and left to wait for the bus. However, the bus we were waiting on was late, and we thought perhaps we have the wrong time. So we decided to walk. Not two minutes into walking, the bus passed us. Fantastic, I thought sarcastically. We continued our walk in the frigid night and eventually got back to her dorm. We hugged and made plans for Friday to see Deadpool. All in all, I’d say it was a pretty successful night.
