Last night I was out for a friend's birthday. The evening got off to a fitful start.
The plan: live music. Where: Hmm, how about Chop Suey? OK, cool!
Wait, that's an all ages show (and we're all over thirty... some well over thirty). Hmm...
Plan 2: The Crocodile! Awesome! In theory that is...
The reality: I drive around for 15 minutes and never find a spot to park. Plus, the Croc is sold out.
Plan 3: Back to Chop Suey. I find a fabulous parking spot on Pike Street.
But then Chop Suey is sold out, too...
Plan 4: Neumo's! We wait outside for others to arrive (others who had managed to find a parking spot near the Crocodile and as a result became very attached to that spot), but at least this place is not sold old. And bonus: someone on the street gives the birthday girl a free ticket! And we are able to snag a booth in the Moe Bar! Things are looking up. While not everyone ends up making it (somehow we lost them in the course of this little adventure), the rest of us enjoy drinks and the Celtic rock band Handful of Luvin', which turns out to feature an incredible fiddler. The evening is saved! Happy birthday, Kristina!
