Tonight we went to Keys on Main in Salt Lake to see my neighbor Jed play. We didn't have anything to do and I saw him on his way out the door and asked him if he was working tonight. I told him we probably were not going to go because we had already been to Salt Lake today. Since we didn't have anything to do... so we decided to surprise him and go. We had been wanting to go on a weekend anyway. We heard that is when the real party was. As Allison and I were on our way out, Chris text me just in time for me to invite him along and he joined us.
I had been a couple of times before, but always with a group of friends that went on Wednesday night. Wednesday night is karaoke night. Don't get me wrong, that is fun and all... but not as many people go and it is SUPER fun when they have a packed house. Which they did tonight!
It amazes me how talented the piano players are. Not only do you have to be able to just play any song that is requested and sing, but you also need a great stage presence. To get the crowd going. Jed is so great at that. He is so perfect for this job it is not even funny. He even pulled out and played the harmonica for "Piano Man" (which I requested) and the girl that works there can rap like no other. They are awesome and so fun to watch. I LOVE the piano bar. Another perk about being friends with one of the performers... not having to pay to request songs and free drinks! Jed is the best. He would come hang out with us when he wasn't up playing.
We had a blast and were so glad we took the second trip to Salt Lake instead of staying at home and watching Netflix. I have great friends.... for reals.

That sounds super fun! wow 2 trips to SLC in one day.... you are crazy :) glad you had a good time.
Aw, I would have paid for requests anyway. I think I told you this before, but I've been to a place like that here in AZ. (The Big Bang? I think that is what it was called.) It was amazing and you are right, the talent is crazy impressive. I would love to go there though, it might not be so boozy.
Just as much booz... I'm sure.
