Let the birthday festivities begin! My big day isn't until next Wednesday, and Wesley's is the following Wednesday, but since we like to tie one on, we started early. In fact, we really started celebrating about a month ago on his girlfriend Brooke's birthday at the First Annual Bob Dylan and Family Reunion Concert. Wesley had given Brooke two tickets to Chicago the musical. Sadly, though, Brooke was already committed to work the night of the show, and guess who got to be the back-up date! So Thursday night me and my baby hit the big city for a little razzle dazzle.
First stop was Wes' favorite favorite restaurant Taqueria Del Sol for the best fish tacos and salsa I've ever had
And then, on to the fabulous Fox Theater for a night of Broadway
Our seats were on the thirteenth row and the show was simply amazing. For two and a half hours, I was transported to the dazzling 1920's world of vaudeville, nightclubs and glamour. Of all the musicals, I've seen performed live, Chicago is my absolute favorite: the music, the costumes,the lyrics, the choreography, and all that jazz!
Next stop on the 2009 Birthday Celebration Tour is girls' night with the Mimis and then another evening of music, with my 3 main squeezes, at the Leon Russell concert Thursday in Athens.
So,
Come on babe
Why don't we paint the town?
And all that jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees
And roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
But the piano's hot
And all that jazz
