Erin is Fear and I’m Loathing. It’s a personal joke that even we don’t fully understand!

Dennis and I went to Erin’s birthday party. There were a fun assortment of people there; mostly librarians and climbers. Obviously, I felt more at home with the latter, but I was oddly intrigued with these librarians.

My aunt is a librarian, so my prior experience was a very biased sample. This collection of librarians, however, are almost the polar opposite of my aunt; young, hip, relaxed, engaging, and just a tad on the crazy side. Not to say my aunt wasn’t any of these things in her youth; there’s no way I’ll ever know!

Erin is a home brewer, so of course there was an assortment of tasty beers to try. She also had a large pot of lentil soup bubbling on the stove, a whole loaf of specially baked olive bread with a tapenade, and extremely addictive cupcakes. I found the combination of hearty fall foods really complemented the choice of beers. Well done, I say!

We stayed for as long as we could and then said our goodbyes. If you are ever invited to a party by Erin, my recommendation would be to attend. Two thumbs up!
