Aimee Mann without Spawn

Sunday night Marnie and I had our first over night date since our beautiful daughter was born almost 4 years ago. Marnie bought tickets to Aimee Mann's 3rd Annual Christmas Show at Bimbo's 365 Club in San Francisco. We decided to spend the night in the city and make an over night date of it. Thanks to our friend Adrienne and her wonderful daughter (one of Lucy's best buds) Stella we made it happen.

We had a wonderful time. We went for a great walk, then had dinner and then headed to the venue for the show. Mann was joined by Grant-Lee Phillips (I use to listen to him when he was with Grant Lee Buffalo, I loved, loved, loved them), Nellie McKay and some other folks. The show was great. A combo of Christmas music and Mann's music and some comedic stuff.

Mostly I loved being with Marnie like that. It has been years since we had that kind of time together and while I missed Lucy it did us a world of good to connect with each other without the spawn around.

It most certainly won't take us another 4 years to do this again.
