House of Blues On A School Night

Knock, knock! Anyone still here?  Our lives have been consumed with end-of-summer fun, and also my-shoulders-and-back-hurts-so-I-stayed-away-from-my-computer-all-weekend. 

Last Tuesday, 8/28, we had the pleasure of seeing our friends J Turtle and Pete Thurston play music downtown at the House Of Blues. We drove down there on a school night even!  There was another concert downstairs at the HOB, which made finding a parking spot difficult. After parking at a $15 lot down the street, we got in the House Of Blues around 6:40 and had dinner there.

Lots of low-lighting photos.  HOB likes to keep it dim!


I had the cob salad.  Most definitely NOT health food, LOL.  But the thick bacon was oh-so-yummy.


Todd had steak salad.

Pete’s band Channel, with drummer Noah Heldman.  Todd and Noah know each other from being nerdy IT geeks.  Such a small world that Pete knows him too.  Not only that, but Noah is friends with my high school friends Sally & Stacy.  So weird!


The incomparable Pete Thurston.


Pete’s wife Cass and baby Kate came and sat with us at our table.  As did Jen.


Cass took a photo of us.  She had just said something funny and then took our photo.  No wonder we were smiling big.

So glad for the opportunity to step out on a week night and enjoy some good music with good friends. Todd is itching to play in a band again!
