This weekend I went down to Jackson for a wedding; one of my first cousins got married. This was my first Episcopalian weddings. I always find it interesting how different weddings can be depending on the denomination. Baptist are the quickest weddings Presbyterians are a close second. The longest I would have to say would be Catholic and Episcopalian. But regardless, my cousin looked beautiful, and the reception was fun. The first time for me to be at a reception at a church and be able to drink wine and beer. First for everything I guess. 

But before all the wedding stuff went down, we had a HUGE dinner at a restaurant. There was 16 people in our party (when we got in we were too late for the rehearsal dinner so we got together w/ some close family friends of ours). It was a lot of fun, and afterwards the "of age" kids went out to a place called The 930 Blues Cafe. There is always an interesting crowd at this place. The liquor drinks are real pricey but really stiff, but the beer is cheap. 

There is a character at this bar that sings on Thurs. Fri. and Sat. nights. MS Jackie Bell...

 (*there is a video to be posted that will give you a better sense of this woman*) It is always a different show when you go. People dancing in the hot packed second floor room, drinking their beers or mix drinks from mini solo cups. I love dancing. It doesn't matter to what, how much I have been drinking, if there is music I will dance. But It is always more fun, without question, when you are dancing with somebody. My older sister made the comment to me that when she was showing some of her friends some videos of me and my little sister when we were mascots and some dances I've choreographed, she had to explain to her friends that she has never been able to move her body the way we can. My younger sister and I have received the same comments about being the mascot... They don't believe that it was/is a white female in the outfit. But back to the blues cafe...

I enjoy places like this. Off the wall places where you can sit back and enjoy the live music or get up and dance. I prefer the dancing part, but I do sit back and enjoy the music.
