THURSDAY NIGHT - Woah.

I have so many pictures to share but they are all at home. I will post them tonight…

Thursday night – Left work early and met up with Queenie at his place.  Fixed ourselves up for Kathy and called a cab.  Arrived at the Fire Lake Grill and had a wonderful meal.  The walleye, scallop & wild rice cakes were the best!

We left the restaurant full and anxious for Kathy.  We had some time to kill so we walked to the Palomino  for cocktails.  Queenie is famous here and everyone knows him because is like royalty and stuff.  We ran into a waitress he knew and she sat us and got us a drink right away despite the crazy busy packed place it was.  (I guess it’s good to know people)

We sat down and gossiped.  We were sitting in the waiting area because frankly, the place was too packed for anything else.  Soon there was this dude that asked us if he and his friend could sit down across from us.  We were like – sure go ahead. 

So that dude walks off and gets his friend.  The friend sits down. They wait for about 5-10 minutes (not even).  The drinks come and the friend of the dude goes off on the waitress about the wait. Queenie and I were totally upset.  I mean, the place was packed.  They weren’t even sitting in an actual area that is waitressed and the guy had the nerve to argue with how long the drinks took! He shouldn’t have even gotten served sitting there!

He got no where with the waitress so the dude took it up with the manager and got his drinks paid for. We had no time to defend the waitress to the manager since Kathy was coming on stage in like 5 minutes so we had to leave but we knew we’d be back…

I go off to the bathroom and while waiting in line I start a conversation with this chick in front of me. (Ok, and the chicks behind me too.)  We were discussing Kathy and how excited we were to see her and gossiped about whether or not she was reconciled with her hubby Matthew or if they were really getting a divorce. We all decided that they did reconcile and they are still getting the divorce. 

I didn’t think anything of it and we headed downstairs to get in line. Not a minute in line and Queenie mentions that the famous dude from Lord Of The Dance, Michael Flately was behind us in line.  So I look and who is he with?  The chick that I talked to in the bathroom!  The famous dude was her date!

FOR REAL PEOPLE!!! I TALKED TO A FAMOUS DUDES CHICK IN THE BATHROOM!!!

All of a sudden I felt like royalty myself! I pretended to be taking pictures of Queenie and then totally took pictures of the famous dude and his chick. I will be sure to post them later.

So we get inside and to make a short story long – it was hotter than a Sauna room in July in the theatre.  Queenie and I thought we were gonna die it was so hot!  Queenie knew practically everyone in the PACKED theatre and I met some nice people next to me.  I believe their names where Alison and Travis.  At least that is what I remember. If not, than it was something else…. Whatever.

Anyway, Kathy was HILARIOUS as expected.  We loved every second of her show.  She rocked the house and people were laughing so hard it was crazy!  If she is EVER in town again I will go in a heartbeat!  She is DA BOMB and that is all there is too it.

After the show we headed back up to the Palomino for an ‘after Kathy drink’ and of course Queenie ran into some more friends.  He explained to me that I was probably one of the few straight people in the audience when I told him that he knew some many people.  I suppose that makes sense being Kathy has a huge Gay/Lesbian following.

So we are up at the Palomino finally and we have a glass of wine and get a chance to talk to the manager about the crazy person that yelled at the waitress.  Turns out the friend that was with him was just as appalled as we were and apologized for his friend’s rudeness.  People can be so dumb sometimes.

We eventually left after our drink and caught a cab to Queenies place for movies and relaxation.  It wasn’t long into the movie before we were both asleep and waking up to a brand new day.  Except this next day would be one for the record books in the world of Queenie and Jacque…
