We are still cool....

kind of. heheheh A few weeks ago for John's bday we took some great friends out to dinner with us. We had such a nice time. We went to restaurant called The Blind Pig. It has a very cool vibe and it's in the old butcher town of Louisville. They are reviving the area with lots of restaurants, bars and shops moving in. No chains, everything is unique to Louisville. Lots of cool buildings are being used and remodeled. Very neat. The Blind Pig has bacon in almost everything on the menu. Even a bacon martini. I don't think anyone tried it but I did have a spicy sangria. (for the record I didn't have a single piece of bacon that night...mussels, salad and a portobello mushroom and goat cheese sandwich) We waited over an hour for our table but nobody cared. We had a great spot at the bar. The boys stood in a circle and were so engrossed in their talk they had no clue that we ordered a appetizer and ate it all. heheh It was a white bean puree and it was delish. After that we went to a local bar and danced to a friend of a friends band. A great night!!! This weekend we are heading to a charity event at another old building downtown. It is called The Mellwood Arts center. It is for Avery's therapy place and is a beer tasting event. It is from 5-8 and I am pretty excited about it. Last year we went by ourselves. This year we have some really nice friends coming with us. So neat to have such good friends support something for Avery. After the event we are heading to a new bar in town. It's called the Holy Grale and it's in an old church. It is a European-style beer bar, inspired by the beer in Belgium and Holland. When I told John the plans for the night (he wanted to have peeps here for a wii party, that's why I am the social director of this ship...hehehe....kidding that would have been fun too) he said, "yay I love going to bars like that when I am in Europe" and "Louisville is getting pretty freaking cool!" Glad he was happy with the plans. All this is happening before 11pm though because I turn into a pumpkin then. So I guess I'm not still as cool as I think I am.
