I like trying new things but often times I just don't know what to ask for or where to start. So I take suggestions from those that (hopefully) know better--the people working at whatever establishment I am in.
So far I've had pretty good luck.
Recently I was at my favorite coffee place in Silverdale (Austin Chase, the same place I had the great customer service a few months back) and I began chatting with my usual barista (wish I knew his name... sorry!). Not only did he recommend an awesome beverage (a "dirty chai," which is just chai with a shot of espresso) but he also informed me about a new video game that is all-the-craze now, Red Dead Redemption. Apparently it is a Western-themed game from the makers of Grand Theft Auto.
After his description it sounds to me like a bit of Grand Theft Auto plus a lot of The Oregon Trail on steroids. You can hi-jack horses and skin varmints. I don't have a 360 or a PS3 so I can't experience it for myself... but it sounded interesting even to a low-level gamer like myself. (I'm one small step above a non-gamer, like a teeny tiny baby step above. Barely worth mentioning. More of a trip than a step, really.)
Anywho, what I'm getting at... talk to the people who know their business and you might just find out about something awesome that you've been missing out on, be it a drink you've never even heard of or a new way to spend lots of your time (and, inevitably, your money).
(And if you happen to stop by AC, I'd also recommend their iced tea-- yummy, even without any sweetener! Perfect for those warmish summer days we hopefully have heading our way!)
Ricky plays/owns red dead redemption... it is pretty interesting. It has some questionable language and themes at times, but entertaining all the same. I have not played it, but you do get to steal horses and ride on carriages. Also, if you hit a certain level I have been told you can ride a Zebra/Horse!
ReplyDeleteI think that I would play it just to get to ride a zebra.
