My Town has a Night Life

...and I'm too old for it! My husband is in a play at the local theatre. That means that sometimes after the play we go out with the cast and crew. There is one local restaurant that decided to stay open late after the performances and see if they could get a crowd of people that just want to go out and have a drink. We went a few times (they started this during rehearsals). They advertised in the program that they were doing this. It was announced in the director's announcements.

Then the second weekend of the play -- they stopped! We went after the performance on Friday and they were closed! So we ended up going to another restaurant/bar. The only problem with this one is that it is definitely for a younger, single crowd. It was also so noisy that you couldn't converse with the person next to you.

The following night, we had a VIP table set up at the Glass Cactus courtesy of one of the girls in the play who works there. If I had thought that Friday night was noisy -- I was wrong. The band that was playing was semi-ok and the dance floor was full. We had a couple drinks and tried to talk to a few people. I'm glad that I can say that I've been there -- but it's not my kind of place.

This town needs a bar where everyone knows your name and has music like Michael Buble playing in the background.

I doubt that your age has much to do with it. I have no desire to sit in a crowed noisy place where I can't hear anybody talking either.

I didn't like it when I was young (like Kevin's age) either. The apt that I lived in had a very nice little bar -- I want that again.
