Dinner and a Comedy Club (our evening out)
Yesterday, I drove the boys up to Dallas to meet up with Hubby's parents for a few days with them (it's Spring Break). That was a long drive. Spent about 30 minutes at my sister-in-law's house before I turned around and headed back.
Last night, we went out for R's hubby's birthday. First, we went to Texas Land & Cattle for dinner. I wasn't overly impressed (some of the steaks were overcooked, and I think the rest were undercooked) and it took forever to get our food. But, we all managed to eat to much. Oh, well...
Then we went to Cap City Comedy Club. This week they're trying something new- Christian comedy. There is a certain group of Christians who don't go to comedy clubs because they don't want to pay to sit there and listen to cussing and a bunch of tacky, tasteless jokes. So, Cap City decided to try this, and if the crowd last night was any indication, they've got a money maker (well, sort of- I think their alcohol sales were down a bit, but the room was packed on Tuesday night- not something that happens every week). I can't remember the name of the warm up guy, but... he needs some work. But Leland Klassen and Daren Strebow, the headliners, were great! We were all laughing, almost to the point of tears. It was great- and I would have been perfectly fine having the boys hear every single joke told last night. They love listening to comedy- parody songs and stand up. Nice to find people I feel comfortable letting them listen to.
It was a fun evening. And we'll do it again if Cap City has Christian Comedy night again.
