Café Berlin End of Spring Break

Yesterday I met up with Phoebe, @fotofobe, at Café Berlin for brunch.  It’s become the go to place for me and all of my friends for a great breakfast at any time of the day.  I can’t think of a better place in Columbia to meet up for mimosas and a nice breakfast.

Phoebe and I had a great time talking about our futures in and out of Columbia, how incredibly fast this semester has passed and whatever else came into our heads.  Of course a copious amount of photo talk happened, what, we’re nerds.  It’s always a fun time when Phoebe is around!

We got our usuals, drank too much coffee and just had a pretty fabulous time.  You have to check this place out, follow them on Twitter @CafeBerlin.

Brunch at Cafe Berlin

Phoebe (@fotofobe) invited me out to Cafe Berlin (@CafeBerlin) for brunch with a friend of her’s from out of town.  I of course had to accept the invitation, I mean, it’s freaking Cafe Berlin!

Being all photo nerds, we spent probably a good twenty minutes talking about photography and playing with our cameras, in the midsts of sticky syrup and slippery butter.

Phoebe got some pretty funny/embarrassing photos of me over on her blog.  I definitely did not get any blackmail worthy shots of her haha.

And wouldn’t you know it?  Bumped into a gaggle of my friends having brunch just a bit after we were finishing.  Sometimes living in a small-ish town isn’t so bad.  Randomly bumping into the people you love isn’t such a bad thing, huh?

Find them on twitter, well most of them, Justin (@joneal65203), Chadd (@Chadd65203) and Akiko (@akikooda).  Afterwards I met up with Chase (@clettenberg) for a trip to the bike shop, some lunch and coffee at Starbucks.

All and all, a pretty great weekend, until I had to go to work of course.  Then, back to work as usual.  At least I got a few hour break before going back to the usual grind!  Oh and the weather, awesome.  Gotta jet.

Easter Brunch

Yeah yeah… I’m way late at blogging this.

Josh (@brooding_soul) joined Karen (@ok2baprincess) and I for Easter Brunch. Karen and I were invited to brunch at Will and Roger’s loft in St. Louis. I met Will and Roger at Alan (@alangeor), Joe and David’s (@clementdk) loft-warming party.

You all met Will and Roger from the pictures in that loft-warming party post.

There were a lot of other people there, including Jimmy (@jholman23), all as fun, unique and interesting as the other.  A wonderful crowd, what better way to celebrate the resurrection of Christ than with a room full of gays? (Ok ok, there were two straight couples but seriously…)

Will and Roger had quite a spread for us, all of the food was delicious and the home-made sangria, intoxicating (literally).

Roger sure knows how to make food that’s all sorts of delicious.

We had a great time eating, drinking and chatting it up, it seemed to go on for hours and leaving was definitely not something I wanted to do but, alas, homework called.

I went to Jimmy’s to pick up Josh, they had left a little earlier. We got some dinner just before heading out back to Columbia.  It was a great weekend and a great time in the car with Josh (we sang karaoke style the entire way home).

Twitter Brunch Bunch

Every week, on Sunday around noon, my lovely Twitter friends and I get together for what we call, the Twitter Brunch Bunch.

It has since grown to include more than just the originals…

@ericcox @bigred77 @ok2baprincess @justex07 (me) @turtis

Now we can add to the roster

@mdanbom @jlwest @brooding_soul @eapenthampy @fotofobe

_D7C3085_D7C3206_D7C3096_D7C3070

It continues to grow and we’ve moved it from Bleu to @TopTenWines.  Instead of buying food and wine, we bring our own food, sort of a pot luck deal, and drink the wine from @TopTenWines.

It’s an awesome time. Join us next Sunday?
