Getting out and meeting new folks

     On Wednesday night I decided it was time to get out and meet new people so I signed up to attend a meetup event at Gordon Biersch at the Aloha Tower.  It was one of the organizer's birthday so about 12/15 people showed up and there was live jazz music playing.  The restaurant is at the end of the pier - a great location.  Here's a pic of the place I found online.

We were seated outdoors and it was evening time and actually raining. :)  It was a great night and became friends with the people at my table. At the end of the event, I gave a ride to my new friends back to Waikiki and they asked me to join them - they were headed to Senor Frogs.  I said sure, why not? :)  I haven't seen much of Waikiki yet so this is a great place to start.

Since it was only 9 pm they decided to take me over to the Sheraton first to the bar called RumFire.  A great bar with a GORGEOUS view.

We sat outside, right at the edge of the bar.  The full moon was out, shining ever so brightly on the palm trees and the water.  Even though it was late night, we could still see the turquoise blue waters and the coral reefs underneath.  Nothing can describe the feeling of being there at that moment, looking out at the calm ocean, talking over fire with new friends - I still can't believe I'm here, in paradise. :)

After a nice long talk and getting to know each other, the 3 of us headed over to Senor Frogs. An interesting place indeed.

Yep, an outside view - the inside was too crazy to share! :)  My friends love the place because on Wednesday nights its apparently Dollar Wednesdays - which means dollar drinks all night long. I'm not a big drinker so I passed but was elated when I saw an empty pool table. We played a quick game and then I ducked out. It was midnight and I needed to get home. Interview on Thursday! :)
