This was mostly taken from an email to a friend…sums up last night…

Last night Scott didn’t even want to try Fox and Hound since we figured we had a better chance at Ri Ra’s anyway. So, Ri Ra’s was a 45 minute-1hour wait and we didn’t have even 45 minutes to wait because we had to take a little detour on the way there–more in a sec. So it was SO cold downtown with the wind. I even had changed my heels to my boots because I realized how cold it was going to be and that was a good thing too. Anyway, so we ran across the street to get out of the cold and ended up at Gold Pepper Grill. Yahoo. At least I talked them out of China Queen. It was not quite what I had in mind for the evening but it was decent food, quiet and the service was nice.

So the reason we were running late is we get onto 5th street and I ask Scott if he remembered the tickets. We had originally forgotten the keys and tickets when we were leaving the house and I told him to grab the tickets when he got the keys and apparently he didn’t hear me. So we started to turn the car around to head back home and the only thing that popped into my head was that a guy I work with and his wife lived like 3 blocks from where we were and knew they would help us out and let us print the tickets from their printer. Knowing that she had her wisdom teeth out Wednesday I figured they might be home. So we pull up to their house and C’s car is gone and E, his wife, is staring out the window trying to figure us out. Scott and I walk up to the house and E meets us outside. I told her who I was and she was totally nice about everything. While we were printing the tickets, C got home. He was really confused walking into the house trying to figure out who was at his house but he was really nice about it too (not that I thought they would be otherwise) and the four of us talked for a few minutes before we had to leave to get something to eat. Anyway, it was really funny. I still can not believe I went to his house to do that.

So the opening act for Larry the Cable Guy was Josh Sneed. I’ve never heard him before but he was really funny. He seemed like around my age and was talking about stuff that I could totally relate to. Larry came out and he was really good. He had some not so funny moments and did some stuff I’ve heard on the Blue Collar Tour before but some stuff I hadn’t heard before and I could barely breathe I was laughing so hard.
