Last night was Dine for Darfur in Seattle, a fund raiser with participating restaurants in which 25% of their proceeds from yesterday will go toward relief efforts for Darfur. I went with my friends, Melinda and Ross, to Coastal Kitchen to do our part. As suspected, the place was packed and there was an hour wait for tables. The people in the lobby seemed happy to wait, and held no gripes about the abnormally long waiting list. Luckily, we found 3 seats at the bar and decided to just eat there. I ordered a delicious linguine dish with craw fish, shrimp and salmon sausage, however I was really jealous of Ross’ pecan-encrusted salmon, that shizznit was da bomb.

Afterwards, we had a drink at Linda’s, who was also participating but instead called it “Pints for Darfur”. We each had a couple drinks at Coastal Kitchen, so the drink we bought at Linda’s gave me a pretty decent buzz. Then Melinda convinced to have another drink at Cha Cha, unfortunately they were not participating (cause they hate poor Sudanese children… jk!). We then took pictures in their photo booth, and I semi-stumbled home afterwards. All in all, I had a good night for a good cause. Too bad these types of fund raisers don’t occur more frequently, because if I’m going to get plastered, I might as well get plastered for a good cause.
