It’s time for another date night since our favorite community theater Chico Cabaret is putting on a new show. This time it was the play Angry Housewives.

Bored with their everyday lives, four women try a number of outlets until one of them strikes a chord on her guitar, and suggests they form a punk rock group and enter the upcoming talent show at the local punk club

Julie and I went out to Chili’s for dinner, and for the 2nd or 3rd time in a row, it was a disappointing meal. I keep going back thinking the last bad dinner was a fluke, and Chili’s just keeps proving it’s just bad. Normally we would go out for drinks before the show, but I’m the crime scene investigator on call this week, and cannot drink in case the city goes to hell.

I had offered to take a co-worker and his wife with us (the DiGiordanos) and we met them there. There is a 50/50 raffle during the intermission of all the cabaret shows, and between the Nelsons and the DiGiordanos, we seem to win a lot of them. Tonight was no different, with Mike and his wife winning the $40+ pot (and continuing our tradition of donating it back to the theater company). It was a long day (I worked a mandatory overtime shift the night prior and didn’t get to sleep until almost 6am, but it was worth it to see the cones on the band’s drummer (traffic cones…get your mind out of the gutter! Jessica Smith is one of our favorite cast members).

If you haven’t been to a play at the Cabaret, it’s always a great time. We have been season ticket holders for a couple of years, and love going to the productions! Click HERE to see what’s coming up!

Thank you to the Chico Cabaret for the entertainment, the DiGiordanos for the conservation, and Chili’s for a great meal…well, 2 out of 3 aint bad!
