Last night we got out of the house, at the same time, in the evening, for once! Tony often goes to practice or to the studio in the evenings, while Liza spends lots of her evening time working or relaxing with the dogs at home. It was nice to both get dressed up and go out for a bit. We went down to Bunkers on Washington Street to meet some friends. Josh (Junebug’s old bassist) was in town, and Sarah, Dustin, and Bryna were going out to Bunkers. Gabe, the guy who heads up Junebug’s recording gig, was also there. Dr. Mambo’s Combo plays at Bunkers every Sunday and Monday night, and its become the place to be on those evenings. We wish that we got there MORE, because it is such a rawking good time.
We ate at a nice little place before we met our friends, right down on Washington as well. We ate at JD Hoyts, which is right next to Deja Vu, the strip club. Dinner was an extremely pleasant time for us. The staff was very friendly, the food was excellent, and it was just an all around great place. Around 9:30 we headed over to Bunkers to meet our friends and enjoy the combo. Dinner out and live music with friends is a perfect way to spend a Monday night – as well as to raise up some wintertimebluesy spirits.
Wicket has his second-to-last doggie class tomorrow night. And Thursday is our first married Valentine’s Day!
