WeekNIGHT Caching and the House of Dean (Best Bartender in Rosemount) at Applebee’s: Rosemount, MN

June 1st, 2006 in Apple Valley, Bars and Pubs, Geocaching, Rosemount, South Metro

Kim, Chris, and I headed over to Granite City in Eagan to meet up briefly with the WeekNIGHT Cache crew. They hit three caches in the area and then met up w/us at the bar. It was entirely too fucking hot to be running around in the tick/mosquito infested woods, so I just drank beer. I like their Stout there but it’s nothing compared to the offerings at Great Waters Brewing Co in St. Paul.

We spent about 15 minutes chatting with them and I headed outside to nab two .50 cal ammo cans that Dan donated to the MnGCA for the Spring Event. I have to paint those at some point this weekend and get them stuffed with notebooks and pens for some ready made caches to give away. Thanks again Dan!

After that, Kim, Chris, and I headed down to “worship” at the House of Dean at the Applebee’s in Rosemount, MN. Dean is the best bartender in all of Rosemount and I’ve given him much praise in the past here and here. He was definitly on top of his game last night even though he was “tired” from drinking all night straight through till 11AM! You fucking rule dude!

Anyway, Kim enjoyed some food and her Oreo Milkshake staple while Chris and I drank $1 domestics. A rough switch from the Stout to Budweiser but one that ended up much cheaper in the end ;)

Oneied Cooky joined us around 10 and his monsterous $1 tab was thrown in with mine. “You sure dude?!” “Yeah, I think I can afford the $1 on my tab man ;)” Two military men were sitting across the bar from us and one had many friendly questions for Cooky about his missing eye. Most of the time it’s 3 to 5 year old children asking those forward questions. I guess beer has that affect on some adults ;)

Anyway, Kim had taken off after her milkshake and promised to return after a call when we were done. I called right around 11:30 and she was there soon enough to give Chris and I a ride back to our house. Woot! Chris’ best quote from the evening? “You gotta marry this woman!”
