Hanging with Matt
News, Political, Guns ·Wednesday March 16, 2011 @ 01:48 EDT (link)
Matt E. let us (the libertarian/voluntaryist/Austrian economist cadre of various DLs such as CLAMS) know he'd be in town (he works out of Microsoft's Fargo, ND office) and so we arranged to have dinner at Rock Bottom in Bellevue at 1830; we arrived a little late due to traffic, but so did Matt (we weren't sure about anyone else; it turned out nobody else could make it—middle of the week is tough, but we did try to plan things earlier and Matt let us know well in advance when he was going to be in town). He had his Murray N. Rothbard, Enemy of the State T-shirt on (first time I'd seen one; would be nice to get one sometime). The three of us ate and talked politics and Microsoft and Fargo and such. I had their pulled pork sandwich which was good.
After eating we headed over to West Coast Armory's Bellevue range to shoot—just handguns this time; we got there at around 2030 and Matt had to sign in since it was his first time there; we finished pretty close to closing time (2100).
We headed back to our place for coffee, Guitar Hero (Honey and Matt played, it's not my game), and more politics. Matt left around 0130; I believe a good time was had by all. It was great to actually meet in person after all the DL and Facebook discussions.
Books finished: Stone of Tears.
