I think I went a bit overboard on my Christmas shopping this year, no? 'Tis the season, I guess.We went to Trailer Trash's Trashy Little Xmas Show at Lee's Liquor Lounge last night. Best night of the year bar none. In fact, I think I started this blog with pictures from last year's show. Not only do you get to get on stage and perform with the band via their "jingle stick", you get to witness all of the people who go out only once a year, and this night is it. Completely reserved, they imbibe a few drinks and all of a sudden mom is pole-dancing with the jingle stick, and Nancy is limboing under the stick lower than she's ever been before. The people watching is almost as good as at the state fair.
Oh yeah, on Friday, Tom and I went to a production of "The Nutcracker (Not So) Suite" at the newly renovated Ritz Theater in NE Minneapolis. First off, that theater is gorgeous. Small, but they did a great job with the renovation. Second, the show was pretty good! A "Ken and Barbie" interpretation of the original ballet. Tchaikovsky may be rolling over in his grave, but the audience was plenty satisfied.
Then we went to the Peacock Lounge for a snack. Very cute. I'm going to have to do a little more exploring of NE.
