Last night, we saw
Joe Bonamassa, and we knew it was going to be a good night when the venue was playing Iron Maiden's "Two Minutes To Midnight" before the concert even started, only to be topped by Joe playing an amazing rendition of
Gary Moore's "Midnight Blues." Speaking of the venue, we'd never been there before, but it's hands down the classiest concert we've ever attended. No patdown, no backpack search, the interior was amazing, and they served hard liquor and even gave you beer in bottles.
No other plans for this weekend apart from playing some games, running errands and watching DVR!

Happy Friday!
Now that all the turkey sandwiches have been eaten, it's time for life to return to normal, so we can prepare for Christmas and New Year. We're preparing a trip to Europe for the holidays, travel has been booked, accommodations have been made, and now we're planning the most difficult part: the sightseeing.
This weekend, however, we have the usual plans, errands, groceries, gift shopping, DVR, and probably a quick trip to the movie theater to catch
J. Edgar (
Clint Eastwood movie about the FBI director, starring
Leonardo DiCaprio).
