Beach Blanket Babylon
So David collected last night on the Christmas gift I got him. Dinner at Stinking Rose followed by Beach Blanket Babylon. We got the the Stinking Rose about 3:40 which worked out great because the original reservations were at 4 and the rest of the evening wouldnt have worked out as perfect as it did.
Dinner was great, and a good thing we both like garlic. I had the Lamb Shank and David had the Pork Chops. We had the swiss fondu for an appetizer, and a glass of wine each. It was delightful and the waitress was wonderful.
We finished around 4:45 and headed to Beach Blanket Babylon Boulevard where we stood in line behind about 5 people. 2 guys and a girl behind us (the guys were family) and we all had a good time waiting till the doors opened at 5:30. The straights in front of us seemed to start growing while we waited. Apparently a girl with about 40 tickets in her hand was waiting for many others to show up. Thankfully they were on top in the balcony.
At 5:30, we went in. My goal was to get the table that was shown in Tales of the City where Mona and Mrs Madrigal went to see the show. As luck had it we did. The two guys that were behind us in line sat next to us and David and I got a bottle of wine. I stole the bottle (since David wanted a keep sake) and the show was amazing.
I dont believe I stopped laughing for more than a minute and they covered everything from Hilary 2008, to Nancy Pelosi. Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lil Richard, and my favorite were the poodles. The poodles made me think of several pups I know. David gave me a big glare and quietly said "dont". Guess no barking for me *chuckle*.
The biggest thing I cant believe is that Ive been here almost 4 years and havent seen this show yet. Either way, Im really glad that our night worked out so well and I couldnt think of someone Id rather spend such a great evening with than David.
We came home after instead of going out for a drink. We started watching Bam Bam and Celeste (Margeret Cho movie). I fell asleep as David continued to watch it. When it was over, I woke up and David turned to let me know it was the worst movie ever. I dont think Ill waste my time.
