leavin' on a southern train

This weekend was a lot of fun. Jess and I went out Saturday for our four year anniversary. First we went to dinner at Prima Vista. I got spaghetti and meatballs (not what it was called, but that's what it was) and she got the salmon. The spaghetti was good, but there was too much of it, and that's all there was. Jess' was the better choice because the salmon was excellent, and it came with green beans and a pasta. Before that we had a really good appetizer of muscles in some find of tomato-oil sauce. Then we had tiramisu for dessert, which was delicious. The view of the city from the restaurant was really nice too, especially since we got to see the sun go down and the city light up. It was a really nice place, but definitely on the expensive side.

After dinner we went to Shadowbox Cabaret. We had planned on going to Go Bananas comedy club, but had to change our plans when we realized the show was 21+ only. I'd never been to Shadowbox before, but it was pretty good. The comedy sketches weren't bad. Jess had been there before, and she said the comedy was better than it had been in the past. As I'd been told ahead of time, the music was really good. I wasn't impressed by their opening theme song, but they played a lot of good covers throughout the night. Some great renditions of "No Excuses", "Tom Sawyer", and "Baba O'Riley" were among the highlights (the girl that sang "Tom Sawyer" sounded so much like Geddy Lee is was hilarious. Overall I thought it was a fun place. I wouldn't go there all the time, but not bad for a change.
