WOW! What a night! For starters, we decided to have dinner before the show. So Sissy, Aubree, Savannah, Mat, Doris and I met at Ruby Tuesday's on Hillsboro in Deerfield Beach. Figured it was a good place for dinner since it was close to The Tipperary.
Well, we get there, and they were apparently having an Invitation only VIP night. They had remoddled the restaurant and were open only for a select few to experience the new menu and atmosphere. Since we showed up with so many, they decided to let us in and take part. To everyones surprise, everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING was FREE!
Free Mojitos, beer, wine, and food! They came around every few minutes with different items off the new menu for us to sample. It was amazing! Mini-burgers, shrimp, ribs, spring rolls, salad bar...absolutely free! The place looks great and the food was fantastic. The food and mojitos just kept coming. We'll definitely be going back to the new Ruby Tuesday's!
After dinner, we all trekked over to the Tipperary Pub for the show. We had one hell of a party last night. All the regulars were on hand in addition to a lot of new faces. Danny, the owner, put out a buch of hats, t-shirts and other giveaways for anyone who sang. And of course we had the Bottle of Booze drawing at the end of the night.
We made some great new friends, Holly and Casey, who were visiting from Indiana. Like Mat, it was their last night in town and they partied with us till the wee hours. Mat of course had a great time sporting his blue hair.
On a more personal note, by now Mat is on the road on his way back to Virginia. I'm definitely going to miss him, blue hair and all. We spent alot of time together over the last month, talking about anything that came to mind and playing marathon sessions of Wii bowling and Golf [which I still hold the record].
I feel like I really got to know him all over again, and I'm proud of the man he has become - Luv ya buddy, have a safe trip and huggs and kisses to Luke and Heather.
There are a whole bunch of pictures from last night in The Tipperary Pub Photo Album so check them out.
