Random-tini

Our city began its week long Winterfest celebration this past weekend. Nothing says "I love the snow" more than a martini walk, right?

The ladies I tagged along with like to start out with one full-sized martini. I like to sample (and remain upright)...mmm...grapefruit!

They used to have a human dog sled race, but after a few years of unseasonably warm weather, and perhaps a general lack of interest, that activity fell by the wayside. There is a chowder cookoff, chicken wing walk, chili cookoff and other means of keeping warm, like bloody marys and cosmos. There is also ice carving...

Hows about another (hic) hikiskus martini (hiccup)?

p.s. I did check, and it is Absolut Hibiskus...with hibiscus flavor, but no hikiskus

James Bond would not be impressed by the Birthday-tini...neither were we. Think barely cool, melted McDonald's shake.

After growing weary of chocolate-tini samples, we were brought back to life with this miniature martini glass sporting chocolate and graham cracker crumbs. I heard Kahlua and Rumchata, but was too distracted by the presentation to hear the rest of the ingredients.

Mom, mini-martinis, classy necklaces and me.

And Snooki was apparently there! (She looked possibly older than me, and I thought I was too old for a Bump-it. Time to get myself ordering!) As the trio walked away, I realized the true hilarity was that guy on the right's hair...so glad he was in the photo, but disappointed that the true tightness/shininess of his curls was not captured.

My favorite conversation overheard while waiting in line at the walk took place in a fancy bar...and by fancy, I mean they served popcorn. The woman behind us was talking about how she could smell the salt from the popcorn. Riiiiight, not the butter, but the salt.
  
In completely unrelated news (gotta keep it random)...Don't you wish everyone came with such a descriptive tag?

Now go give Stacy some attention!
