10 Questions About…

OK , once again I’m playing a little catch up with the blog. With any luck, I’ll get a few posts done today – despite the amazing weather in the St Paul.

A week (or two ago) we went to see the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Jan arranged it and we went with Mary, Emily, and Kristin – who is a new (to me) friend with great taste in music. And we had a last minute substitute of Anita, who is always great about coming to see any band.

We had dinner at the Loring Pasta Bar, which is one of my favorite restaurants and then headed to the Varsity. We were just in time to see the dance contest – which was fun to watch. In my next life I’m going to be able to dance like that – and sing.

Then the band started. They are even quirkier live than you might imagine if you know their music. We watched the trombone player more than usual, now that we’re proud parents of a trombone player. They played all of our favorite songs, there was plenty of room to dance and we parked close to the venue – what more could you ask.
