The most christmasy weekend of all

 

SUCH a fun weekend with ALL our favorite people...

Friday night - Wendy, Sandy, Tom and I ... Dinner at Creekside Supper Club followed by a rocking holiday show by Tina S at Parkway Theater (Lola and Red Hots and Tina and the B side fame).  Perch fish fry, old fashion, cigarrette machine, red leather chairs with bronze tacks, popovers, cheap beer/wine, dancing, singing, crying, hugging, lead singer of Kiss the Tiger and ending the night with a rounding rendition of "you get by with a little help from your friends". Definitely need to make this a new tradition.

Saturday - Vikings win in overtime in largest come back in NFL history. Tom and Jimmy both quit the team at 1/2 time so when it was tied with 1 min left, I had to give Tom a play by play, over the phone, since he left to go grocery shopping. I didnt do too bad!

Saturday night - Angela, Dan, Tom and I ... Circus Juventus with drinks/appies at Waldman in St Paul. The Circus is now a Cirque du Sol feeder program. none of the kids is older than 17 and they ALL are amazing artists and athletes. Truly breath taking. Then, Waldman is a national registry historic site rebirbished to it original victorian St Paul glory. A micro brewery with deep german roots. Trout spread, rye bread, spaetzle and wurst.  The Best! 

Sunday night- Simple Gifts (Billy McLaughlin) with Jim and Jen Fellows at the Parkway Theater (again). SUCH a treat. ALL the music is 500+ years old and its beautiful and calm and reassuring and timeless.  Their gift to us and it was perfect.
