In Which My Company Holiday Party Approacheth

[willow_red]

'Tis the season for work holiday parties, and mine is coming up a week from Thursday. I'm allowed to bring a guest, so I was wondering if anyone reading this would be interested. Said party mainly consists of dinner at The Fort in Morrison, which I've never been to but have heard is really good. This would be in the evening after work.

Anybody interested?

Ooh, the Fort.

Every year I did pro bono work for NDK as a con translator, I'd get to join the guests they'd invited for that year at the Fort for an evening of, well, food. Lots of it. It's where I first tried Rocky Mountain oysters. And if I remember the pictures on their walls, they've entertained a few heads of states including Clinton and Koizumi.

Anyway, good food, should definitely be a good time.

PS I'd recommend the Negrita for dessert, but I forget that you don't really eat anything with sugar in it. Or was that just sweet stuff in general?

I heard that when the G8 summit was in Denver (possibly it was G7 + Russia at the time), they ate at The Fort. It sounds like a nifty place, but it amuses me that apparently I'm the only one who had never heard of it before.

And yes, I generally avoid anything sugary. I was raised not eating that sort of thing, so anything sweeter than fruit doesn't taste good to me. And since that stuff is bad for you in general, I figure I'm better off not knowing what I'm missing. Makes things easier, particularly given my family's history of blood sugar issues.

I would totally be volunteering here for some Sandy time, but I'll be out of town that week in Kansas - nuts. :/
