| - My first UYE and my first time at the Salty Senorita and what better way to "pop my cherry" than with tequila and tacos! I must admit being a little nervous about going myself to a bar I've never been to party with people I didn't know, but thanks to Lynn W's encouragement, I made it, and I'm glad I did.
I'm rather shy when I'm around new people in a new place, but Lindsey helped with that right away by bringing me to the Cruz Tequila sampling. A couple small shots *samples* and things were better already! I found a seat at a table, ordered a margarita, and checked out the group. I felt a little out of place at first, everyone seemed so young! I wasn't sitting alone for long, I met Rick and David from EaterAZ, the group sponsoring the Taco Festival next month. They were a riot! I just might have to attend to the Taco Festival now. Another margarita, a couple yummy tacos and I was feeling great.
It was great meeting Mark, we were chatting for so long, that all of a sudden we realized everyone else was gone! All the tables were cleared, and the only thing left from the UYE was the plate and a half of red velvet cupcakes. Sure was tempting to walk right out with them, they were YUM!, but one cupcake was enough and they were sitting all alone when we left. I sure hope someone from the bar enjoyed them, they were too good to waste.
All in all it was good to step out my comfort zone, meet some new people and have some drinks. Thanks Lindsey for putting this together and making me feel welcome. I'll for sure be around for more events!
