Day 62: Nick's Crispy Tacos

The inaugural official "Taco Tuesday" went off without a hitch despite the absence of a few key expected attendees (You know who you are). By the time I walked into Nick's Crispy Tacos at about 7:15, there was already a line extending into Rouge next door. Apparently $2 tacos and $2 Bud lights made for a popular combination on the Tuesday night before Halloween. A few taco fanatics had arrived early and were already happily eating, so the Executive Producer and I grabbed a couple of beers and sat down to wait out the line. Bad idea! It continued to get longer and longer until I was finally forced to concede that I would be subjected to a substantial amount of time in said line if I was ever going to get my tacos. When we finally reached the counter, the Executive Producer and I ordered our limit of tacos (3 per person per trip) and headed back to the table to await our food. By this point, a number of other Daily Taco fans had arrived, and Taco Tuesday quickly began to achieve its true potential. The tacos were delicious (prepared Nick's way, of course), the conversation animated, and the company superb. As we sipped beers and ate tacos, there was an excited energy in the air brought about in part by tonight's outing, but also by the knowledge that this was but the first of many taco based Tuesday gatherings that would shape the next ten months of our lives.
