This was my first time at Hand in Hand and I knew that I would be back probably more often than I should. A fellow with two of his buddies asked us to loan them a dollar, and in exchange, they would purchase shots for Salli and I. I first thought it was a pick up line, and then tried to humorously negotiate with them (how about 50 cents?), but Salli, being the more forward and curious one, without hesitation gave them a dollar. It was a good deal. They joined our table, and we both liked them right off the bat. At this point, we were still used to the concept of meeting a ton of people while out. These guys seemed cool and of good quality, and they did approach in a forward, confident manner. It was refreshing.
We invited them out to Park Tavern. During the summer, every Sunday evening, there’s free live music on the patio. Park Tavern is an upscale bar/ venue. The drinks are bit expensive, bottled beer started at $4, while well drinks started at $5. People were always fancy and dressed up, which was a nice change. In a cotton summer dress with airplanes on it, I felt a bit underdressed. (One of the guys had asked “Are those Frank Lloyd Wright airplanes on your ass?" classy.)
and to you, goodday

..have you met us?
In Atlanta, there is an awesome little English Pub called Hand In Hand. Their rendition of Sunday Funday consists of dollar PBRs and dollar fish tacos every week, all day. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I attended my first Sunday with my dear friend Coley. It was a tame first Sunday, we had a couple beers and called it a night. But the next week, June, Coley and I attended and we had not prepared ourselves for it—Sundays would never be the same again.
Walking in the door, we were stopped by a group of very handsome guys who immediately struck up conversation. I believe we came off a little unfriendly, but we were just so caught off guard by how easy it was to meet people, and we were only 3 minutes into our Sunday Funday. We held a brief conversation with them and then found ourselves a table. Shortly after, we were approached by a different group of guys. Their approach was unconventional, as they needed just one more dollar for cigarettes, and they bribed us with shots. Decently good looking and clearly outgoing, I was intrigued, but the other girls were apprehensive. They extended the invitation to us for a really cool outdoor unplugged concert at Park Tavern that they were going to later that night. We jumped at the opportunity to be entertained by them for a little longer, and going somewhere we had never been before was not to be passed up. It was a fun concert, and we parted ways with the boys, with amorous pbr-fueled promises of future encounters. But..looking onward..
