Out

Mary Beth and I were going to go to this Marcella Simien show and we got up to Crosstown and were standing in line waiting for the doors to open but then after a little while (it was a bit of a line so we were a ways back from the door) I noticed "sold out" signs on the door so we wouldn't be able to do that. As we were leaving we ran into Graham and Bianca further back in line and said hi. We didn't get tickets in advance because Mary Beth wasn't sure if her leg would be cooperating by then. It was the first time she really tried to do something out-out (other than picking something up to go or just grocery shopping). She's still limping and it can sometimes be tiring to walk or stand too much (or go down stairs) but she's doing better and can at least reasonably move about. Instead we went over to the Memphis Whistle to sit and hang out for a good while. When we entered, we knew sitting at the bar was out of the question because Edgar the cat was taking one of the two remaining seats (we wouldn't dream of taking it away from him!). Even though we'd already eaten, we shared a slice of the alligator and shrimp cheesecake (really, like a tall quiche) and it was super good.
