Our good friend David plays the Horn in the Puget Sound Symphony Orchestra. He always lets us know when his concerts are, and tonight was the first time we decided to go. It helped that the first half of the concert was targeted at children. David sent us a personal invitation, encouraging us to bring Katie to the concert. Boy, are we glad we did! She LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it! The concert was in Seattle Town Hall, which has pew-like seating. We chose to sit in a place with a column directly behind us. That allowed Katie to stand on the pew to watch the action. She was waving her arms frantically like she was playing the violin and conducting. What joy she exuded! Here she is, looking cool before the concert started:)
We met up with David and his wife Laura before the concert to have dinner. But, before I talk about dinner, I have to share a funny story about the concert. David decided to change into his tux between dinner and the performance. He had grabbed his tux out of the dry cleaning pile before heading out the door. It was only after he got on stage that he realized he was wearing Laura's dress slacks, not his tux pants. HA! He said he was surprised at how long they were. She always wears them with heals. Oh, sooo funny!
Anyway, for dinner we went to the Rock Bottom Brewery. I had chicken parmesan, which was really good! The chicken wasn't covered in a heavy breading, but instead, seemed to be pan fried with some herbs. Covered with melted mozzarella and marinara sauce, the chicken was great. The linguine it was sitting on was not very interesting and didn't add much to the dish in my opinion. I think it might have had some oil on it, which prevented the sauce from sticking to it. Ben had the Bourbonzola burger, with Jim Beam® Bourbon glaze, Gorgonzola cheese and crispy onion straws. He said it was good, but not as good as the similar burger at Red Robin.
