Barry, Jenna, and Our Bold Hero grilled pizzas over at Shelley and Nick's place last night — past the Lost Woods and five miles north of the Western Forbidden Zone.

That is to say: they do not live nearby. Since they're both eminently cool, the hope is that someday they will. On the plus side, they do live near Space Aliens.

As it is, the drive there was much less of a production than our pre-party shopping. Barry had to deal with it this time, but I remember being similarly puzzled that Rainbow didn't sell "pizza sauce." And while I now have a big, saddish plant for my (awesome) room reconceptualization, Wal-Mart was out of the little plastic water-catching trays that I actually needed.

The drive back, in the pouring rain, was pretty hellish.

But Nick and Shelley's place was good times. Good times featuring Super Puzzle Fighter Turbo HD.
