Looking forward into the year, I am trying to schedule fun things to do and places to go - very much like I did last year. (here's a good reason why) I want to switch it up so that it seems new and fresh. Plus I want to discover more about where I live, what is out there, and try not to break the bank while I'm at it. Currently I have two more symphonies, a string quartet, and book clubs on the calendar. But I want to find the quirky, one-of-a-kind Austin things and find new places to visit.
On Saturday, I went to see KC and The Sunshine Band at ACL Live. I know I have gone downtown many times, but this time it was so cold out! and I had to navigate by foot to the venue after parking a few blocks away. I got there in plenty of time and it was fun to people watch as I sipped my wine.
Its such a great place for a concert - seems like every seat is a good one. There are bars on every level so the lines aren't ridiculous. Having said that, I usually limit myself to one drink, as I am the driver, at night, and by myself. Plus, drinks are pricey and take a bite out of your entertainment budget.
Such a great seat - however, I'm going to consider getting a floor seat in the future - its like a party down there, people on their feet the whole time. This concert was full of my generation, too! Time to have fun while we still can (:
KC turned 75 the day of this show - he and Mark share a birthday, 10 years apart. The band was really good, the music great, KC still out there gettin' it done, engaging and expressing his love for the crowd. It was awesome. And it was great for me to get off work early, then come in late on Sunday. A win all around. I'm looking forward to continue to get out and about this year!
