After a few days of bantering messages, they'd set a date to meet. But just hours before meeting, Virginia insisted they speak on the phone, if only for a minute. Unbeknown to Jed, the real reason Virginia called him that day was to verify that his voice didn't sound like Mickey Mouse. Satisfied that Jed's voice wasn't at all rodent-esque, the two met in a downtown Denver bar called The Pour House. They ordered some Blue Moons and sat outside enjoying the view. Ordinarily a parking garage is not a view that either of them would find enjoyable, but on this particular evening, two inebriated female patrons began flashing them from said parking garage. Virginia's enthusiastic reaction led Jed to the conclusion that this girl was definitely going to be the best first date he ever had. The two headed to the 16th street mall for some late dinner at the Rock Bottom Brewery, where their flirting and laughter continued well past closing time.
