C and I had a date night last night. It was great. First, we went to brgr and had cheeseburgers and beer. I got mine with avocado. I love avocado. But it was so thin, you couldn't really taste it. It was still delicious though.
Then we went to see Savion Glover: SoLe PoWeR at the Joyce Theater in NYC. We had 3rd row seats, but were able to move back (it was waaay better to see his footwork from an elevated seat). For those who don't know who he is, he was one of the main stars in Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk. It was such an amazing show. I definitely liked the second half more than the first, because it was more like a dance routine instead of him explaining the difference between a step and a sound. And the music was way better- the first half the music was kinda slow and spacey- it was making me a little tired. But in the first half they turned out all the lights at once point, and I closed my eyes and just listened, and that was pretty cool.
The second part definitely had more flair. It had a bit of a storyline, some funny, cute parts, crazy lights, more upbeat music- just awesome. Oh, and apparently one of the girls goes to the school where I work! I'm totally going to stalk and meet her next semester! Very excited.
After the show, we went back to brgr because they boasted having "The #1 MilkShake in NYC." So we had to check it out. The #1 was a blueberry-pomagranate though, and we weren't feeling that. C got strawberry, and I got the 2nd best in NY, the black and white (chocolate and vanilla).
I totally see why they won awards for their milkshakes.
Rock on!
I saw Savion Glover in Bring in da Noise ... when it came to Chicago a few years ago. He was *exceptional.* I'm so happy to see it wasn't a one-shot deal and that he's terrific in this new show.
