Summer's Over

Last Friday Abhrajeet left Minnesota and flew to California to write Mask and Wig's Spring Show with his friends before returning to UPenn for the school year.

This summer was the best summer we've ever had in the past 6 years of being together. Of course, we can't wait until after graduation when we don't have to squash our hang out time into the summer months. (Get it... Summer Squashing... because we have to squash everything into summer? I think we're pretty clever)


In the beginning of summer we made a list of goals. Here they are again:

• Read 15 books - Abhrajeet read while on the bus for 3 hours a day but didn't get anywhere near 15 books
• Make Money - we both had internships this summer
• Go to a Music Festival - We went to Sound Set
• Try 10 new beers - We exceeded this amount and found many new favorites
• Screen print shirts -
  
• Eat Sushi 5 times - Succeeded and it was delicious!
  
• Design Shoes -
• Cabin 3 times - Love our vacations!
• Try 10 New restaurants - We ate out a lot but didn't try 10 new restaurants
• Make website - huge thanks to Abhrajeet for coding my website: KaydDesign.com
• Learn Flash -
  
• Study for GRE - Abhrajeet crushed the test. Studying wasn't very fun but we're glad it's done
• Go to Minnehaha Falls - We visited the falls and ate at Sea Salt Eatery
• Make Movies like the old days -
  
• Take a Trip to Menomonie and visit the creamery - The Creamery was Delicious
• Work out - we worked out twice. Does that count?

I'll still update this blog with my personal work and events even though it's called "Summer Squashing"

Thanks for listening and following us

Brew at the Zoo

Two weeks ago we went to a fundraiser for the Minnesota Zoo Conservatory called "Brew at the Zoo". It was one of our favorite date nights this summer and can't stop talking about how amazing it was.

Even before we turned in our tickets, zoo employees greeted us with Owls, Hawks and Eagles. Then we were handed a sample glass and and told to "have a great night."

18 different Beer companies were there - some were major but many of them were loco micro breweries... and we definitely love supporting the local micro brews.


Here's all the different beer either we both tried or one of us tried:

• Sheephead Ale - Brau Brothers in Lucan, MN
• *Wild Blue -Anheuser-Busch
• Choclate something... - Flat Earth in St. Paul
• Duke IPA - Granite City in Eagan
• Blueberry something... - Granite City in Eagan
• St. Peter Pale Ale - Great Waters in St. Paul
• Tighty Whitey - Great Waters in St. Paul
• Skinny Dip - J.J. Taylor in Minneapolis
• *Minnesota Tan - Lift Bridge in Stillwater
• Crosscut Pale Ale - Lift Bridge is Stillwater
• *Bastogne Blonde - Rock Bottom in Minneapolis
• *Hop Bomb Double IPA - Rock Bottom in Minneapolis
• Extra Pale Ale - Summit in St. Paul
• India Pale Ale - Summit in St. Paul
• Horizon Red Ale - Summit in St. Paul
• *Cynic - Surly in Brooklyn Center
• *Bender - Surly in Brooklyn Center
• *Furious - Surly in Brooklyn Center
• Anchor Stream - Wirtz in St. Paul
• Anchor Fog Horn - Wirtz in St. Paul
• Full Sail Amber - Wirtz in St. Paul
• Sessions Black Lager - Wirtz in St. Paul

As you can tell from the list above it was a great night. The zoo even arranged for shuttles to drive people back to hotels.

We can't wait to go next year!
