Things are starting to equalize with things being setup. We took care of some stuff this morning and were going to do some other things out and about, including getting a pumpkin for Halloween.

Aaron called to hang out, so we combined the two things. We went out to Resturant Mexico for lunch. It's somewhat surprising to me that I still hadn't been there. Funnily enough, when we walked in, we were seated by Sarah Ventre - the Blaze DJ that does the local music show that we had been listening to every week. Once we sat down Katie asked if she was Sarah Ventre, and it was obvious that she was trying to work out who we were and how she knew her. When Katie said 'Mark & Katie from Australia' you could see the association click, but Sarah's look of disbelief and confusion at us sitting at Resturant Mexico on Mill was priceless. After getting us seated and service some other people, she pulled up a seat and chatted with us for a bit, and offered to give us a tour of The Blaze studio after lunch.

Aaron seemed preetty into eating at Resturant Mexico since he has listened to live records with Robin referencing it for years, but didn't realize that it was a real place. The food was really good. When we finished lunch Sarah seemed vusy, so we didn't bother her with the Blaze tou'd be really cool to do sometime. While paying I noticed that the resturant had photos of their previous location up by the counter - what caught my eye particular was the building that used to be across from Long Wongs on 7th Street. I'd come across a small photo back in Warsaw one night goofing off on the net, and so it was really cocl to see a large shot of the whole building. I think I need me one of those!

After lunch we took a walk down Mill, which didn't really provide much excitement as it was pretty dead - which prompted discussion about everything that is wrong with Mill Aveneue.

So it was back to the car to go over to Tempe Market Place so we could get our pumpkin, as halloween is approaching quickly. After that Aaron wanted to have a beer and decided on Four Peaks, which always sits well with me, so we cruised over there. After a while I noticed what seemed like a familar looking guy emerge from the studio next door, but couldn't quite work out whether or not it was who I thought it was. The second time he came out I was still unsure. While I was trying to work uut, I saw a tall lanky guy and thought "gee, that guy looks a lot like Bill. OH, wait a second..." and moments later saw Valenzuela. After having just seen Sarah at Restaurant Mexico and then this, it's hard to deny the wonders of living in Tempe Arizona!
