Blogtogether Brunch at Sandwhich

Yesterday I went to a BlogTogether brunch, organized by mistersugar. This picture was voluntarily taken by our waitress and more people arrived afterwards, but this accurately depicts the cheerful vibe of the morning. We primarily listened to the enviable plans of our visitors from San Francisco, Justin and Stephanie. Justin, who lived in the area a number of years ago, and his wife, Stephanie, are planning on taking a trip to New Zealand with an indefinite end. I am looking forwarding to reading all about it on their blogs, Justinsomnia and La Vie Soleil.

This photo even shows Bora, front and right, who was mentioned today in Newsweek!

The brunch was held at Sandwhich, on Franklin Street, in Chapel Hill. I had a delicious serving of French toast with perfectly cooked eggs. They weren't cooked solid, but they weren't completely liquidy either. Lovely!

Durham Bloggers and SCONCs at Tyler's

Tonight was the BlogTogether meetup for Durham Bloggers, which was combined with the meetup for the Science Communicatiors of North Carolina. Durham Blogger meetups are normally held at Tyler's on the second Tuesday of almost every month, at 6pm.

It was fun talking with everyone. Abel Pharmboy's daughter was very patient with us, too. BrianR (not pictured), told us all about Carrboro Coworking, which will provide freelancers and others who are currently not satisfied with the isolation of working from home with a pleasant office environment. If I heard correctly, free coffee will even be included!

When I'm not desperately in need of caffeine, I always get the fresh-squeezed lemonade at Tyler's, because it's just incredibly good and incredibly sour. I love it. I decided I really wanted to have some fish and chips, so I ordered that, even though it was catfish and I tend not to like catfish. It's just too greasy, but I'm always ordering things I don't like and don't seem to regret it as often as one would expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find that their catfish was nice and crispy and this was definitely the best meal that I've had at Tyler's so far. It was served very hot, so that helped. It came with a ton of garlicky fries, which were also great.
