It has felt so interesting to be back in my old college town. It has been about two years since I have adventured back. Running through Bidwell Park and seeing the trees and the liver was such a warming feeling. I went for a good 40min run this morning. I remembered all the times I had ventured through on old runs, solitary and accompanied walks, and gone swimming. All the old cafes are still there:
Naked Lounge

HasBeans
http://www.hasbeans.com/
I have fond memories of both of them. I used to host a Poetry Night at HasBeans (way) back in the day. They still have an open mic on Thursdays which I am planning to attend. =)
All this work got dune to this great music mix website 8track http://8tracks.com/ . It is an awesome site where DJs and Music Lovers can list their own created or just personally like music interests.

Branch 3: Play Time
Now off to dinner and drinks................
Dinner was amazing, Monks in downtown Chico is an old favorite dinner and wine-bar place of mine from back in the day.
After monks we hit up Johnnies. Johnnies was the first place I ever had an Old Fashioned and my Ty Cobb.
Salad and Crustinis =)
and then desert!

Last night was a great night. My break is off to a good start. Time to do it all again, starting with my run.
