Friday Night: Avenue Q & Sweet Carolines

Following dinner at Perilla, we hopped in a cab and headed to the Golden theatre for Avenue Q. There's just something so wrong about dirty puppets... Leigh Ann had seen it a couple of years ago, but assured us she would happily see it again. Apparently the first time she saw it, she and her friend laughed so hysterically that the actors were teasing them from the stage... We knew it would be fun and silly and inappropriate.

It was. The sarcasm, the puppet hanky-panky, the witty songs... it was so great! We just laughed all night. Great dinner. Great show. What to do next?

One of mine and Brian's favorite night spots in the city is Sweet Caroline's, a dueling piano bar off West 46th. The show runs 10pm-3am. The girls and I arrived around 10:30pm. The bouncer waived our cover & we grabbed a table down front. Shortly after our drinks arrived, the lead piano man asked if anyone was celebrating a special occasion. Leigh Ann and Andrea promptly nominated me to go up on stage. Thanks, Ladies! No, it was fun... I may post pics later...

We all had a great time. The club filled up. It was fleet week, so lots of sailors and marines looking to have a good time. We sang the classics: Billy Joel, Elton John, 'Joy to the World' complete w/the club's crazy hand motions, and of course 'Sweet Caroline'. So fun! We returned home around 1:30am.
