Euphonium euphoria

Posted on 09:58 by Unknown
Kimberly and Chris both worked Saturday. Kimberly 7a-3p and Chris 2p-10p; yet another instance of our horribly incompatible schedules. Kimberly and a gaggle of coworkers then skipped a few blocks over to hit the Salute! NC Wine Festival in downtown Winston-Salem for post-work libation. Afterward, dinner at Foothills Brewing for the hospital gang. Yum.

Once Chris got out of work, he raced home to pick up Kimberly to skip over to Backstreets to the downstairs bar to hear the band Hot Politics, a jazzy funky collection of musicians where the lead singer plays a euphonium for cryin' out loud. Fellow CRNA Jeremy heard the band a week or so ago and raved about them. So, let's meet up and give 'em a listen. Backstreets was smoke-free, dark, and intimate. Big plus: the usual 10-ounce limit at Foothills for their Seeing Double IPA was poured as a full pint at Backstreets. The big downer: they served their Pinot Noir cold. Ice cold. What gives?

At any event, we enjoyed ourselves with a late night out with friends listening to some "phunk". And another late, late night for the House of Gordon? 1:00am and we're still out? Are we revisiting our youth or something?
