Alive after five

We went to see the Coconut Groove Band (Jimmy Buffett tribute) in downtown Raleigh tonight. Tri and Logan from Erika's lab came with us. The music was alright, but the crowd there was funny. With few exceptions, we were the youngest people there by 10 or 15 years at least. In general, the concert series targets the 21+ crowd since they let you bring alcohol (not in glass bottles) to the plaza where the concerts are held, Erika and I brought a 4 pack of Guiness. They check IDs and stamp your hand, and make sure you have the right type of beer containers. They had a big cart selling carnival food, so of course we had to grab a hot dog and cheese fries.

Hi Raleighites, Raleighians? (that second one was Lara's guess!)
Sounds like you had an interesting night! Chattanooga still does the summer Nightfall concerts downtown on Fridays....I forgot about that tonight, and don't know who was playing....but we really enjoyed Tom & Barbara and Andy B. tonight at our place...salads and pizza and cheesecake....who could ask for anything more?? Ok, throw in a vintage movie (Flight of the Navigator.) Erika, your folks brought the cheesecake, and it was just perfect! We reminised about the wedding, and caught up on the news. It was a very pleasant visit! They ought to have a lot of fun on the Southern Belle tomorrow...and we are hoping that the weather will be perfect for Andy's first riverboat cruise!
