Many of us had had a hard week and tonight's trip to The Sanctuary in Iowa City was just what we needed it seems. We ended up in the bar room where an awesome jazz combo was playing and we just lounged, ate and drank for three hours or so. Nikki, Glynnis, Sara, Jeff, Jerid, Andrew, Jeanne, Sonya and myself were there and my table had a lovely waitress--I think that Jeanne was right, a good waitress who seems to be enjoying her job really can help make a night great.
At any rate, the night was a superior enterprise and just reminds me of how much I love Iowa City and, in particular, The Sanctuary, even if the evil-bitch waitress was the one serving the other two tables we occupied (at least ours was excellent!). On the downside.. I dropped a plate kinda and Andrew was crawling under the table to pick up pieces (when he should have just waited for a broom) and he cut himself on two of his fingers and then we also broke the table we were at! The door guy tried to screw it back into the wall, but I don't think it really worked. It wasn't really our fault, but I still feel bad!! He was laughing really hard when we left, so I think he wasn't too broken up over it. Mainly because we were teasing him about how our waitress had done a pile-driver sort of wrestling move onto the table and that if she had been able to restrain herself then maybe the table would still be fine and firmly affixed to the wall... =)
We'll definitely be going back soon--Friday nights are jazz nights and it was well worth the drive from Mount Vernon.
I was there too, punk! :) Yes that was a very fun night, we definitely have to do that again soon!
