Last Saturday in Fort Collins

It started off as a gloomy day.  And from what I remember it stayed that way.  As we were still sore from Horsetooth we lounged around during the day.  When nightfall came we still had no plans.  Hunger swiftly moved in upon us so we decided to head to a nearby bar called Sliders.  Dinner and a few drinks we thought.  We were soon to find out that Sliders has something special on Saturday nights.



That's right.  Goldfish racing.  And the prize, $25 off your bar tab.  Of course we had to compete.  The basic layout is two tracks, which I believe are florescent bulb fixtures, and some bar straws.  By blowing on and in the water you must get your fish to the opposite end.



Competition was fierce. 



You may notice that my challenger has already won


Unfortunately we all lost in the first round.  But it was fun.  It was fun watching everyone else race too.  After the races were over and the excitement died down we ordered another round and played some cards.  We had tried to play Apples to Apples earlier but myself, Liz, and Marc didn't meet the four player minimum.  We happened to notice another group of three also trying to play some games.  I went over and suggested that if we all got together we could play anything.  So we ordered another round and play A2A.  We all ended up having a lot of fun.

One of the funnier rounds
