"We like it! We love it!"

Saturday I went to The Trucks show at The Nightlight with Sara, Lucy and a few other girls.  Before the show we had dinner at La Fiamma.  Then headed to Caps post dinner to kill time until The Trucks ("The Trucks are four females who will make you want to dance. The sound is Electro-pop meets northwest indie rock and it’s all dressed-up in fishnets.") made their appearance.  It was The Trucks CD release party so they drew quite a crowd.  In addition, Federation X played as well as a band called A Gun that Shoots Knives.  My friend Alina and her boyfriend Brent met us at the show.  The Trucks CD is available on Amazon or through their labels (Clickpop Records) website and comes highly recommended (by me).  Plus, if they happen to be making an appearance in your city you should definitely check them out.  They're such fun.  You'll like them.  You'll love them.

 

Sunday a whole lot of nothing occurred but on Monday I went over to Alina's for dinner.  I brought the wine and Fran's sea salt caramels.  Alina's boyfriend Brent made the fried chicken, asparagus, rice pilaf, and salad.  It was sensational.  I've heard Alina rave about Brent's fried chicken but never had the opportunity to try it myself.  Brent is working as a chef in Bellingham and getting ready to start culinary school in Austin.  He's from Texas and definitely knows a thing or two about southern food.  I decided to ask Brent if he'd be interested in catering my "southern themed" going away party.  Within mere moments he came up with the perfect menu for the party.  It's going to be so fun, I can't wait.  I just might have to start moving more often if only for the going away parties.
