Meetings and Music

It was a busy day and busy evening. We dropped the boys off with their cousins, and Christie, Tim, Brian and I went into Milwaukee. We had a really nice dinner at Mimma's. Then Brian and I had to go to his Winter Holiday Soiree. It was in the Rouge Room at the Pfister Hotel, which is a really beautiful space. The dark photo doesn't do it any justice. We couldn't stay long, but I met a lot of the people he works with and we got to listen a bit to The Vitrolum Republic, who were playing at the event. Their music is described as "Gypsy Noir." Pretty cool.

After a bit, we went to Turner Hall where we met up with Tim and Christie, and a bunch of our friends, for the 2nd Pablove Benefit Concert. It was great seeing Jeff and meeting his really great wife, Joanne. We missed most of the earlier bands, but definitely enjoyed every bit of Fitz and the Tantrums and Brian and Nikki of Silversun Pickups unplugged. It's a fairly intimate venue, and it was awesome. A great evening, benefiting a great cause.
