Fabulous Friday Night!

In general, we are low-key kinda people. But, wow, did we have a fun weekend! My friend Monica was planning a date night for Friday and discovered that John Legend was hosting an "after party" for his concert in Austin at a club called Speakeasy. Monica got it in her head that she and her husband were going (even though it was sold out), and we were coming with them. In about 2 hours, Monica had arranged a table in front by the stage!!

So we went out for an amazing dinner at Perry's. We got to Speakeasy at 9:00. John Legend was supposed to arrive at 11:00, but we figured he'd be a bit later than that.

We hung out on the rooftop terrace...

and, in a very uncharacteristic move (and great lapse of judgement)...

...did shots of Patrón.

We listened to James Kinney while we waited. He was amazing! All of us are fans of his now.

They kept telling us John Legend was on his way, that he was in the building, etc. Then we found out - at 1:30 - that he was in the back room of the club! We'd had this great table all night right by the stage, and it turns out he played in the OTHER ROOM!! Arg!!! We went back there and saw him from very far away, and for only about 5 minutes before he left. Bummer, dude. But you know what? We had a GREAT night anyway!!

So, here are my very grainy photos of him that I took while holding my camera up over my head and shooting over the crowd in a very dark club.

He's on the right. And yes, he's very cute.

We got home about 3:00 am!! Party people!!

I honestly cannot remember the last time we were out so late!

We still got it! (although this party girl required quite a nap the next day!)
