Falcon, our SDMB Road Trip Goddess, has arrived safely in Flint. Well, she arrived safely in Detroit, and then xploder & I drove her back here to Flint, in a blinding rainstorm. She is safe, though!
We didn’t want to just ditch her at her hotel, though, so we decided to try & find something fun to do for a while. Not easy in Flint. But the xploder had a brilliant idea. There’s a bar here called the Village Inn, with a show that’s been running for several months called Dueling Pianos. It’s a bunch of guys (five, IIRC) that play piano. I’ve heard of the show, and it’s gotten rave reviews, but until last night, I hadn’t seen them. xploder has seen them several times, and told us we’d love it.
We did.
Oh boy, these guys are great. They are funny, fast, and know every single song ever written in the history of the world. We got there just as they were getting ready to get the waitstaff on stage to do the “Time Warp.” The whole audience was doing it, xploder, falcon, and myself included. We had a ball.
xploder, of course, was just beside himself with testosterone, because he was sitting at a table with not one, not two, but three redheads (one of his friends, a delightful lady named Terry, was at the bar also, and she joined us for the evening). Men just don’t get much luckier than that!
FlintDope II begins in a few hours, so this will be the official running thread. Falc has brought her laptop, and xploder has a desktop at his home, so we’ll keep you updated on the goings on. Oh yeah–tomorrow is Shadowfox’s birthday, and Monday is Mr. Shadowfox’s birthday, so be sure to say Happy Birthday to them both!
