I worked at Lakeside during the day, but I was looking forward to the fun night ahead at World Cafe Live! Chuck and Kate took me as part of our group Christmas present for the Grilled Cheese and Craft Beer event. Sounds awesome, right?

The place was filled up shortly after we arrived and we had a beer while we waited for things to begin. It's such an awesome idea. They pair types of grilled cheese with different craft beers from all over.

The grilled cheeses were awesome! Some were sweet and others were sharp. There was goat cheese and cream cheese. Much different than I expected. The sandwich one was still my favorite. The beer was amazing though. Stone IPA was great and the Fish 10 Barleywine was crazy good.

After four sandwiches and beers, we finished with an apple cake type of thing with a sweet cheese on it and apple cider. This event was amazing! Great present and something we need to do again soon!

Merry Christmas to me.

It was another nice day out so I went for a run and then I went to play a game of disc golf. I didn't do enough but at least I was outside. I spent some more time working on some homework before class.

In Photo, we walked around looking at sculptures and art on campus that we can document in place of writing papers for class. I might consider doing it. I went to take my Logic midterm early so I could skip class later. I had to take it in Sean's other class while he was teaching but I don't think I did too bad.

I went back to class and met Joanna so we could head to Philly. We got to World Cafe Live for the Starting Line DVD release party. The live portion of the DVD was playing on the screen before the bands started. We got some sweet potato fries and then The Traded Series played a set. They were pretty good.

In between sets, the documentary portion of the DVD was played. It's well done and makes you feel really bad for the band since they were jerked around so much by their labels.

The Cheap Seats played next. They were a lot of fun, really melodic and poppy.

Person L played last. They were really good and played a good amount of new material.

Kenny came out with Mike Golla from The Starting Line and gave us our "little surprise" by playing an acoustic set of old songs. They played "Something Left to Give," "Somebody's Gonna Miss Us," "Ready," "The Night Life" and "Best of Me."

They played very well and everyone was thrilled to hear some old songs, especially some they don't play often. Kenny hinted that there would probably be a holiday show coming this year so I'm hoping for that!

It was a great night with a good surprise ending that we were hoping for.
