Last night we had a birthday party for our friend Jessica, which started at Bardog Tavern and ended at Ground Zero. This pic from Ground Zero pretty much sums up what went on there:
It was the first time I’d been to Ground Zero at night to hear a band – previously I’d only been for happy hour. I really enjoyed it. Preston Shannon was playing some great blues, and the DJ spun all kinds of tunes when the band was on break. Good-sized crowd – every table was occupied but the place was not overly packed. If you’re looking to dance Downtown but want something a little more mature than the madness of Beale Street or the wildness of the Red Rooster, give Ground Zero a try.
By the way: I still have two “free appetizer with purchase of an entree” cards from Ground Zero to give away. Ask me for one if you see me out. I have them in my wallet so they’re always with me.
Party attendees: I’ll upload pics to Facebook later today. I’m going to have to do a lot of work on these in Picasa to see if I can salvage bad pics due to the less-than-ideal lighting.
I’ll be back later today with pics from the “Flip the Switch” Christmas lighting ceremony last night in Court Square.
