Need to take short detour from the West Coast trip for this little update. This past weekend, we went out to play darts with Mike and Kat. We used to do this all the time, back in the day. But not so much after we all had kids. Anyway, we had a free night out and decided to dust off the darts.
Since we haven't been out too much, we really didn't know where to go. A quick search on Yelp took us to Martini Zoo. Looked promising, menu seemed ok, and they had dart boards. We got there early, and setup near the dart boards and started playing a few games.
Later on in the evening a couple of guys came by the dart boards and asked how to play. I was explaining how to play cricket and couldn't stop thinking that this guy looked a lot like Reggie Miller. He was leaning over a counter so I couldn't really tell how tall he was.
Well....long story short. It turned out that it really was Reggie Miller. I thought it was pretty cool that I even got to talk to him a little, but Michelle decided to take it up a notch. A little later on she went over to talk to them and somehow got him to come over to play some darts with us. Part of that conversation went something like this.
M: "Hey, my husband said you have a sweet three-point shot"
R: "Naw, naw"
M: [slapping him on the arm] "Yeah you do."

So Mike and I ended up playing 8 games with them. We managed to win 6 despite being a little nervous. Mike played awesomely. He had a 7 mark round and also brought us back from being behind in a couple of games. Reggie and Nate were pretty good and we only barely won a couple of those games due to a little better dart strategy.

Needless to say, it was a very memorable evening. Reggie, Nate, and the rest of his friends were really cool and we all had a great time.
