Actually, it wasn't exactly barhopping, per se. It was more like the old Goldilocks fairy tale. John, who works for Nebraska Book Company and was the DU Bookstore's sales rep when it was still part of the University of Denver, called me up the other day and invited me out for beers. We drove over to 17th Avenue, not far from where I now work, and we started checking out the various restaurants in that happening part of town. The first place, Ace Restaurant, was too loud. The second place, Steuben's, was too expensive. The third place, Park & Company Burgers, was just right. We had burgers and beers there, and caught up on everything that has been happening in the college textbook world lately. And as with the rest of the book world, there is very tough competition, but we are all still hanging in there. With beers in hand, no less. What could be better? Sounds like a win-win situation to me.
