Twilight Alive

Our city started the free, outdoor concerts again a couple of weeks ago but we've both been working and weren't able to attend the first two of them. Today, though, both of us got off work early! He specifically requested a couple of hours time-off that He had accrued. I was only filling-in for someone for a while today and they returned earlier than originally expected. Excited that we could actually make it this week, we rushed downtown, and joined the crowd with our collapsible chairs slung over our shoulders.

We watched some gray clouds in the distance, warily, as the sound-crew setup the stage and tweaked the levels on the equipment. They were almost finished when the clouds moved overhead and a light rain began to fall. Quite a few of the crowd merely opened umbrellas but stayed rooted in their chairs, so we did the same. After a while, the rain did not seem to be letting up (even though the sound-crew was still setting up the covered state, undaunted by the rain) so we hoofed our wet, cold, & hungry bodies back to the car to go in search of a warm, dry spot with food. We ended up at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants and had a wonderful meal, our first meal-out in several weeks due to our conflicting schedules.

After dinner, we drove back by the barricaded street where the concert was to be held. The rain had stopped and one of the featured musicians was playing! Yay! We enjoyed a couple of her songs immensely, and then another act joined her on stage. Their music was a little too heavy on the religious messaging, though. We both decided to leave before we burst into flames.

At least we were able to have a good dinner (which I didn't have to cook!) and spend some quality time together!

Last night at work, I saw the person whom I thought made the phone calls. I felt nothing from her. Dammit. I seriously doubt that she is *that* good. Now I don't know what to think. Phuqueit. Perhaps it was that young couple, after all.
