Super, super, superstar!

A few days shy of New Years Eve 08, I found myself in a conversation with a handsomely bearded fellow. The conversation was sparked upon mention of a popular Electric Six song. I made a joke about how the two of us would go to see Electric Six perform at a local, rundown bar in 10 years …where they would without a doubt play their one big hit. This brought on a laugh and a promise that the first round would be on him.

Ten months later, I was home, glancing through the latest Chicago Reader, next to my handsomely bearded husband.

Me: “Guess who is playing on December 31st …New Years’ Eve?”
Brian: “Hmm …Who?”
Me: “Electric Six.”
Brian: “Really? Where?”
Me: “Double Door …It’ll be our 1 year anniversary ...Granted 9 years early.”

This brought on a laugh …And he still owes me that first round.
