We had the good fortune of getting tickets to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in Louisville in March. It was the first time for both of us and we can honestly say that we would pay good money to see him again. It was an incredible show. Unfortunately, this picture was not taken from where we sat that night. We were much farther away. So we took this picture from Sarah's friend Chuck, who was really that close to the Boss.
Just one week later we had another great opportunity when Chuck and Sarah each got a complimentary room for the night at the brand new Hotel 21c in downtown Lexington the weekend before it officially opened to the public. As is the case with each one of the 21c hotels, there are migrating penguins as part of the art exhibit. And Lexington's penguins, of course, are UK blue. We made a point of kicking the night off with a picture of us with just a couple of them.
Although we tried to get dinner reservations for 21c's restaurant, Lockbox, we were unsuccessful. However, we decided we could still sit at the bar and have some cocktails and appetizers. It was a good decision on our part. Overall, it was a great night with Chuck and Mike, who, among other aspects of Lexington's nightlife we had yet to experience, showed us unseasoned partiers how to get a second wind with a shot of Jaegermeister. Trust us, it works, but you have to stick to just one.
And the night ended with another penguin picture. Yet in the spirit of 21c, which is both a hotel and an art museum, we decided to go for something with a little more artistic expression. We were quite pleased with the results. Since we have now visited two of these hotels, in Louisville and Lexington, we now have to try and go to the ones in Cincinnati and Bentonville.
