Our Night Out

Last night we tried to do something to remind ourselves that we are still as cool as when we were single and in our twenty somethings. We hit the nightlife of Raleigh. The night was pretty revealing.

A friend at work heard about a fun 1980's cover band playing at a club and so we headed downtown.

At the door I got carded to see I was old enough to drink. I'm still young right? Cheyney was bummed that she wasn't carded too.

The opening band was a 1990's cover band that would ask questions like "Who here watched television in the 1990's?" and "Who here loves to get drunk?"

The 80's cover band was a bit better than the 90's band. They were named The Breakfast Club and the members dressed up like Billy Idol, Boy George and a member of Poison, and the KarateKid. They played songs by the Police, the Outfield, and Huey Lewis and the News among others. We worked ourself down to right in front of the stage. Due to our lack of drinking again we couldn't raise our beer in our right hand and yell when the 80's band when they also repeatedly asked "Who here loves to get drunk?"

It was getting late and was close to midnight and we realized two and a half hours at this bar was was enough, so we headed back home. We discovered that we can try to be cool without the bar and the band.

What a night! I love the question, "Who here watched TV in the 90s?" Did the guy really meant to say, "Who here is older than 8 years old?!" Funny. That makes me watch to rent some old 80s movies like Can't But Me Love and Sixteen Candles. I think I'll pass on the bar scene for now.
