last night, wednesday, we met up with our friend em at the LAB for dinner and drinks. the spread included a belgian white ale infused with coriander, orange peel, and chamomile for em, the oktoberfest brew for jessie, and a refreshingly non-alcoholic cranberry & soda for me. the munchies were delivered hot and fresh, and we cleaned our plates so well that jessie was complimented on having such a "neat" plate. excellent.
we finished our meal around 8:30 and headed up and across the street to the BoBo Gallery for music and some more tasty drinks. this time around i enjoyed a wonderfully fruity and sake-full orange mango "slush" which was quite easy to drink - mmm. the gallery was softly lit and the art geometric and striking against the light.
around 9:30, holy holy vine and sin ropas started to play - with two members of the trio jumping up from the front table and taking their seats to perform, much to our surprise. good music, but better company, as we were getting a little antsy for the main act to get up and start singin'. soon after my second slush treat arrived, zoe boekbinder came on.
her spunky attitude, sky-high bang poof, and whimsical lyrics complete with looping on most songs proved to be worth the wait. her cover of beyoncé's "all the single ladies" required a little more audience participation than we seemed to be willing to give, but was adorable and fun nonetheless.
her set was short, a little less than an hour long, but we were tired and definitely ready to retire from our wednesday "weekend" adventure.
she's playing tomorrow night, friday, at 8pm at the chocolate lounge, another block up the same street! we might stop by for a truffle or two and some more sweet tunes.
i'm liking the idea of weekday "weekend" adventures...
