On a recent Saturday night, after forcing my husband to attend a Zombie Halloween Party,I rewarded him by agreeing to be the designated driver. We headed to Seven Grand, an ultra-hip whiskey bar in North Park.

We were dressed as 1950's zombies but looked more like Kiss fans. We looked completely ridiculous. Aaron, my husband, had the good sense to wash his face off in the bathroom. My make-up was too thick and could not be removed. A girl in a shift dress handed over a large bottle of Victoria Secret mango lotion. “This should do the trick,” She told me. It didn’t. I ended up with smeary, Courtney Love style make-up.

This guy, whose vest and shirt combo I love, was behind the bar serving up Kentucky Mint Julep's. They looked like little drops of heaven. I didn’t get one because of the whole designated driver thing. Next time I will though.

Hands Down South performed that night. They were really, really great. I took a much better photo of them. However, I prefer this one thanks to the look on the Kenny G look-alike’s face. Priceless, right? After three IPA’s my husband told the guitarist, the big guy in front, that they played, “Getting laid music,” I was embarrassed for him.
