So, about forever ago, Babe and I got to go to our school district's annual "Apple Awards" ceremony. It something that the union does, with the help of a ton of corporate sponsors, to recognize teachers throughout the district. Every school nominates one person and then the field is narrowed to about 20...10 from the elementary schools and 10 from the middle and high schools. Our band teacher was a finalist, and he's our neighbor, so we wanted to support him
Really, it was an excuse to get dressed up (Babe was in a suit and...DAMN! he looked awesome!) I got to wear a fancy dress and put on fancy makeup. We light-railed it downtown, met some friends for dinner, went to the ceremony (our friend didn't win...boo) and then we went out to a funky little bar for a bit.
It was a very grown-up night...except for the part where we both smuggled in flasks of Three Olives "Bubble" vodka (which, when paired with a lemon-lime soda, tastes just like bubble gum) and refused to play $6 for a drink at the ceremony.
Again, we be klassy.
