Last Friday we discovered a new venue. Spenserslive. It reminds me of those Blues/Jazz bars you see in movies sometimes. There is a stage and then a whole bunch of tables with intimate lighting so you can sit at your table, have a beverage and rock out like an old cat to the music.
We ended up showing up incredibly early. It was just us and the band doing sound check. There was no come back later, we were served drinks, our tickets were upgraded from standing to a table and we got to meet Wayne who plays Jake in the show. I am not sure how starstruck you are supposed to get by a person that impersonates a character made famous by a dead actor, but GB and I were little more than useless at the chit chat with Wayne. He was most gracious and left us to our drinks and the excitement that was building in our dorky tummies.
The show was exactly what you would expect from the OFFCIAL Blues Brothers show. Jake and Elwood were fantastic, the comedy was the same and the band rocked it. It was such a fun night. And the beauty of going to something that is a cult hit, is that fans show up. Everyone in the crowd was having the best time and the crowd participation was fun and not that awful embarassing silent agony that it more often is. GB and I had a blast!
