Symphony or Exercise???

So, Phil called me on Wednesday asking me out on a date to see Beethoven's 9th symphony since I'm currently reading his biography. We arranged for a babysitter and figured that we would purchase tickets when we got there since I'm still technically a grad student and I get a discount. I've been to many symphonies my days and I've NEVER been to one with a packed house so I didn't even consider the possibility that the show would be sold out. I think we made history last night...the first couple to be turned away from a symphony performance. What happened to the struggling arts?

This was us all dressed up, ready to be high class and to lower the average age of the audience at least 20 years.

This is us after driving 40 miles only to be escorted out...what else could we do at 9:00 with only an hour and a half left with a babysitter. That's right. We went on a night run in the rain.

Although the night was a date disaster, we still had a good time and we exercised long enough to indulge in some mint moose track ice cream. Anyone top that?

You have to be kidding me. They turned you AWAY? Ha. I love that you went running instead. Even though you've both moved all the way across the country and had a baby you are still the same crazy people.

Can definately not top that! Good job on the spontaneity thing!

wicked awesome! too bad your crystal ball wasn't working so you could see into the future...but I do love paying a babysitter so I can exercise! Actually...haven't done that yet...you are hillarious and I'm sorry you didn't see the symphony, but great story!

Mint moose track ice cream??? Does that really exist??? If so, I can't wait to try that out, especially since I LOVE mint.
