Don't hate me because I got to meet Lafayette!

Wow! Last night was a blast! We left Alex with Lizi and had an evening all to ourselves. Even though I grew up in the city, I've never been much into the city and nightlife scene...BUT last night that all changed. After becoming a mom, there is nothing like a nice (non-family friendly) restaurant to make you feel young. :)
It was so nice to get to just chill with my hubby and enjoy a meal rather than chasing Alex around Chuck E. Cheese begging him to eat his dinner. After dinner, we headed to Hamilton's on the north side. Get this...Lizi and Jennifer just turned me on to True Blood this week (man, I'm hooked). And Lizi told me about this bar they were turning into "fangtasia" at which Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette was going to make an appearance). Keith and I decided to take a chance and wait in line. And am I glad we did. With some persistence and a just a little bit of pushing (j/k), I inched my way up to the front. After waiting patiently for Nelsan, the bouncer moved aside and told Nelsan "she's been waiting a while." Nelsan is such a nice guy! I only had a blank piece of paper for him to autograph so he brought out his pic and autographed that instead. He's from Chicago actually! I was so giddy after that. But I'm glad to say that I didn't act a fool in front of him. :)
