TeachStreet Holiday Bonanza in Ballard

Gigantic burgers. A lot of beer. Epic games of shuffle board (my 14 point choke included). My new Big Buck addiction. Skeeball domination (1 tournament won, 360 high score!). The almost win at Trivial Pursuit. Hanging out with some good peoples to end out the week. Christmas party success!

TeachStreet Holiday Party

In deciding on the plan for this year’s holiday party, after the original idea of snowshoeing in the mountains was voted down, we determined that the criteria for a successful event are as follows:

1. Be in Seattle
2. Have plenty of food and drinks
3. Have a competitive component

And, that’s it.

Not a whole lot to go on, but what we ended up with was super-casual, and lots of fun. We started out with burgers at The Counter, then headed over to the Ballard Loft, where we had a few drinks, and challenged each other to shuffleboard, pool, big buck hunter, and darts.

I had an epic come-from-behind victory at shuffleboard, from Joseph’s 14-2 match point to a 16-14 victory - just had to mention it…

The next stop was King’s Hardware, for a skeeball tournament, some more drinks, and finally a round of Trivial Pursuit on Natala’s iPhone. Sadly, her battery died before the winner could be crowned.
