Special date night for me, OR working at a wedding??? Hmmm...

Okay, I completely wallowed in the comfort of Mechanics Hall this past weekend. Here is why it was the best wedding we played all year for me personally:

1. An actual green room with private, clean dressing rooms and showers is a much nicer place to change than a public restroom.

2. Generous tip IN ADVANCE in separate envelopes - unusual and lovely on so many levels!

3. Wicked dance-y crowd that will not bother us because not only are they distracted by glow sticks, but........ (see #4!)

4. ...we are up on a stage out of arm's reach. ...AND it's pretty.

5. Last but not least, it was not raining on the load in or out, there was really good food, tons of cheese snacks, we ate in a lovely room away from the reception guests, and management did not care if band members had a glass of wine.

This was a paid night out for me...have my standards for a good date really gone downhill?

Wait...don't answer that.

Thanks, Mechanics Hall!
