old school.

I have a date.

I juggled my work schedule so The Wife and I could have a normal-person Sunday this week, and we’re taking advantage of the opportunity: Dinner at the Sonoma Grille followed by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band at the Byham Theater.

I’ve written about my Dixieland Jazz affinity before, and about my experiences with the Preservation Hall band as well. Off all the shows to come through Pittsburgh on Sundays recently, this is the one that prompted me to go through the torture of trying to get a Sunday off.

It’s going to be worth the effort.

  1. Hey, Jerk Wad. Mr. Burns was likewise at the Preservation Hall Jazz Band concert. You should have called me. Why don’t you call me? Is it because I’m needy? Is that why? Because I’m too needy? Well, friendship is a two-way street, Uncle Crappy. I give and I give and I give and I GIVE, and what do I get in return? Besides beer and an awesome trophy? Bupkis, that’s what.

    Is that how you spell bupkis?

    Screw you, Uncle Crappy.

    P.S. OMG I read your blog every week LOL.

  2. UC – extra bonus points if you go full old school on your date and wear a pastel blue tux with large rufflely shirt! Pictures are a must –

    If not that – go dixieland w/a vest and flat brimmed hat – I’m sure the Wife would approve –

    Sad to hear that dates are hard to come by – my excuse is kids and travel b/t the 2 working members of the house (my wife and the dog, of course) –

    Have a great time –

  4. Mr. Burns: OK. My fault. Next time I cross the Allegheny County line, I’ll give you a call.

    Kewyson: I opted for normal attire on Sunday, in part because my attire for the party on Friday night was … something else:

    Jennie: It was fabulous. But we were close enough to being full that we skipped the dessert tapas — in favor of sharing the caramel creme brulee. So it worked out pretty well…

  5. No, it’s not you … it’s me. I overreacted, Uncle Crappy. It’s just that … I guess I feel that we’re drifting apart. You know? We used to be much closer … Beers at Kelly’s. Moonlit walks along the Ohio River … Daily Simpsons trivia.

    I don’t want to lose you, Uncle Crappy … but in some ways I feel like I’m holding you back. And that’s not fair to you. What I’m saying is, I love you, but I’m not IN love with you.

    I’m so sorry.
