Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Julie and I had tickets to see my favorite band play in St. Paul tonight. Before the show we grabbed dinner at a southern restaurant we’d been meaning to try. We had a couple drinks and started with the Nashville hot fries with blue cheese crumbles and ranch. (My Katalox Albers got to tag along for dinner, but had to stay in the car during the concert.)

We shared a couple entrees, Julie got chicken and waffles and I got 1/2 a fried chicken and mac and cheese. As someone who was born and raised in the south, I am (justifiably, I think) skeptical of southern food here in Minnesota, but this place was pretty legit.

(I only realized after the fact that my chicken was not very artfully arranged on the plate for this pic, but it sure did taste good. The chicken and waffles were great, too.)

After that light meal, we headed over to the venue.

The last time I saw these guys was 5 years ago on my birthday at this same theater, not long after we’d moved to Minnesota. The last time I’d tried to see them was two years ago, when I drove back home to Arkansas where they were headlining the first night of a two day bluegrass festival. My buddy and I showed up extra early, we were standing right by the stage, then after the opening act finished, someone came out and announced that Old Crow wouldn’t be playing because someone in the band tested positive for Covid. So that was certainly a disappointment, but in the end it made me even more excited to finally get to see them again tonight.

The show was great. I’ve seen Old Crow a bunch of times going back to 2005 or so at a little dive bar/music venue in Fayetteville, AR, and they never disappoint. The opening act, a band called Them Coulee Boys from Eau Claire, WI, were great, too. Here’s a pic of both bands playing on stage together to close out the show.

Good morning Guardians, how's your weekend going (I know in a couple of cases, the answer will be "GONE!" :eek: :D)? I hope everyone is having a good one :) Apart from the early loss of too many leaves, my neighbourhood escaped the storm pretty lightly, and it looks like a nice day today :) I spent way to much time on my feet yesterday though, and I've no plans today, other than doing some reading, checking out some of that Blues, and reacquainting myself with the sofa! :D I could do with getting some groceries, but I manage without them for today ;) Of course I need something to CF, and I think my Yorkshire Rose fits the bill :) Enjoy your Sunday Guardians :) :thumbsup:

Only another 284 days to go! 🤣 ;):thumbsup:

I hope everyone is having a great day :) I enjoyed watching the Blues Brothers , for what must have the 30th or 40th time! :D When I was a young feller, we would go round to a pal's after the pub. He had a VHS player, but only one movie! :rolleyes: 🤣 I'd forgotten about the aerial views of Chicago, right at the start. Chicago must have changed a LOT since then :thumbsup:
