I left the $40 NAC Gospel and Blues concert at intermission tonight, after paying $9.25 for parking. Not my scene and not my crowd. The pianist was fair enough, but the crowd was mostly comprised of the aging Baptist congregation from his church. I found it depressing.
From there, I headed over to the Raw Sugar Café (with free street parking), to check out their $10 act. I poked my head in the door, and it wasn't my scene either. It did not help that the bouncer hesitated when I asked if I could come in. I didn't. Sigh.
So I texted a male friend and availed myself of his white wine and a spot on his sofa. He's good company. No more, no less. Safe to say NAC is out of budget for a while.
I paid $30 for the sitter.
