You'll Crack Your Head Open!

Last night I went out with a few friends and tore. it. up!  Woot!

Okay… fine.  We went to Joe’s Crab Shack for dinner (thanks to their gluten free menu that they emailed me ) and then walked around Old Sacramento.  But it was fun!

The picture is, from left to right, C, Maggie, me and Alexandria. Maggie and I have been close friends for years and we used to live just a few miles apart, but now we live on opposite sides of town. Which means of course we almost never see each other anymore. C is Maggie’s good friend and Alexandria is my good friend. It was great for us all to meet each other finally.

After we stuffed ourselves on crab and margaritas, we went walking around Old Sac to see what there was to do on a Friday night. As we were walking, C asked a bouncer we passed how much it was go get into that club and he said it was free. Fantastic! So we headed down the stairs and got ready to get our party on. There was nobody in there but us. Um… woohoo… Oh well. It was still only 9 or so, so it was way early for any crowds anyway. The bartender said that it had just opened the weekend before too. It ended up being a techno club, which I have to say wasn’t our thing, considering that most of us are either over or fast approaching 40, but they had a really cool patio area in the back.  It was a gorgeous night, so we spent a while out there.

We were about ready to head home for the night, but C said that we had to go to this one place before we left.  She led us down an alley to a place called The Back Door Lounge.  Oh my gosh!  As soon as we walked in I was in LOVE… It looks like a lounge from a movie. Dimly lit, red and gold velvet wallpaper, the whole deal.  To top it off, the lounge singer is fantastic.   Lee Diamond.  Not only is he a great singer, but he was friendly, talked to the crowd, made you feel like one of the regulars immediately and he was fun and funny.   Definitely somewhere we’ll go back to.
