My day started late, and once it started it didn't stop! Family "G" is having a baby and a delightful baby shower was held at Blue Dahlia. (I've talked about Blue Dahlia before here and here.) This was a perfect setting for a small gathering and we sat in the back courtyard. I enjoyed that the shower was intimate enough that it gave me a chance to meet new people and catch up with friends I hadn't seen in a while. There was only one activity and it was really cute. We all painted on onesies for the baby and it was a great way for some to let out there creative juices. My onesie resulted in nothing but a big, green, G. Perfect for my caliber of painting talent (another unintentional G correlation on my part G for green, I'm a subconscious g-g-genius I tell you!)
Everyone enjoyed a beautiful fruit tart from Sweetish Hill Bakery. It was simply divine with the fresh strawberry and kiwis, a creamy mango filling, and a scrumptiously baked crust.
Dinner
Brent and I had a little bit of time for dinner so we jumped on our bikes and headed to the trailer eateries on Congress. I grabbed food from Mambo Berry. My chipotle mushroom tamales were awesome, a little spicy and a lot tasty. I'll definitely eat those again, though next time I will just order two instead of three... two would have been plenty and I ended up reheating the other for my second dinner later that night.
Brent got his dinner from some bar-b-que joint next to Mambo Berry. I never saw a name for the place but they had 2-for-1 brisket sandwiches for $5! Brent said it was pretty good.

Birthday Party at District 301
The party was themed "Hero's and Villain's" and I was quite impressed with how many people dressed up in March! My Wicked Witch of the West costume didn't come together as much as I had hoped but I had a "W3" painted on my neck, so it should have been clear to everyone, I mean come on. Anyways, I hadn't been to District 301 before and it was a pretty cool set up. They had a great DJ and some nice booths to hang out in.
The party seemed to be a success and I hope that Kim, the birthday girl, had a great time!
All in all a great day!
