Downtown yesterday was a lot of fun. I didn't expect it to be quite such a good time, but yay! ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mckitterick and I met up with charmed_art, cba1282zyx, and LJ-less N at Jackpot, where scary_manilow was tending bar. We snagged the front booth so got to peek through the gaps in the posters at the parade. Or, rather, "parade." There were only a couple entries that should have been in an organized parade. Things like that remind me that Lawrence is still a small(ish) town, though, so it makes me happy.
The cover band that was playing while we were at Jackpot were a ton of fun. Lots of classic rock, some old-style country & western, and some shocking talent by a 19-year-old kid on guitar. I didn't get the name of the band, but they should take over some of the Sunday summer afternoon shows at Replay. I'd be much more inclined to spend some time (and beer money) on Replay's back porch if these guys were playing instead of the usual parade of bluegrass bands. Bluegrass just isn't my thing.
I discovered my tolerance is way way way higher than I want. I had four pints of Guinness (or was it five?) and I was walking a perfectly solid, straight line to the bathroom every time. It was a nice companionable sort of mild buzz, though, and I managed to sew the curtains for the front room without any injuries, so I shouldn't complain.
Today: Haircut, second set of curtains (for the window in the T.V. area of the living room) and then perhaps some book organization this evening. I wonder if I'll regret not having some help for that. Climbing up and down the ladder with a single armload of books might not be the best method...
My apologies for not responding to comments. I'm only online once, in the morning, since I'm trying to limit my computer time. It is vacation, after all. I am continuing to take a daily photo, but I don't have any good photo editing software at home, so cropping is a pain in the ass. I'll post the whole week at once when I return to work next week.
