The conference had ended so a bunch of us including Steve Nelson, Ray Muradez, Perry Woodin headed out to allegedly ‘the best Chinese restaurant’ one of the other guys had ever eaten at. We met Michael Smith in the lobby but despite living in Rockville had never heard of Joe’s Noodle House. It was just a short walk away and soon we were sitting round a table. The menu had only 1 item on it that i recognized from Chinese restaurants in the UK, Crispy Shredded Beef. Ray Muradez took a fancy to the ‘Duck Feet’ in the appetizer section thinking that they couldn’t possibly be real Duck Feet, boy he was wrong! This plate turned up with about 20 yellow cold Duck Feet in a sauce - his comment was “cold, sauce is good, a little chewey and all i can taste is cartelidge!”, only 3 were actually eaten, two by Mike Ricthie. NICE!!! Least he didn’t order the ‘Duck Tongue’ too!
After dining we headed over the road to a well established US chain where waitresses walk round in little shorts and tight tops only to find that unless you carry a USA driving license or a foreign passport they wouldn’t serve you drinks…who visits a foreign country and carries their only ID to get home with them??? In the end the manager came out with a ‘driving licence book’ which had a picture of the UK drivers license and the British Columbia license in so the ale began flowing.
Now for some time now, Steve Nelson and Erik Voldengen have for some strange reason thought that I resemble Harry Potter - Steve persueded our waitress (who also hadn’t heard of the Noodle bar directly opposite!!!) and another to cover my eyes and draw a lightening bolt with a magic marker on my forehead….thanks Steve! I sure got an odd look from the cop in the washroom when i was washing it off! Sorry, no picture evidence sadly the picture didn’t come out!
