The commencement

First thought - wow, I haven't had that much sleep since college. Next - my husband, wonderful man, has already packed the car and gone to Trader Joe's. All that remains is for me to eat this fantastic omelette and go to Fall Brawl VI.

But I have this extremely important idea and have to call my stunningly beautiful friend, Mandy and share it. I know - it is 10:30 on a Saturday morning, and I really shouldn't be calling anyone, much less thinking about drinking, but it's just too good.

The Perfect Martini

How many times have we said, "Where do you want to go?" and fallen back on the same old Boardwalk Billy's and Sushi 101 evenings? (I cannot group the Wine Vault in with this because we always have a great time there!) But I really want to know where is the right place to go when I want a perfect, quiet martini, or a loud dancing fantastic martini.

So I call Mandy at 10:30 in the AM and say, "Hey - what do you think about us going on a mission to find the perfect martini in Charlotte?" to which she replies, "That sounds like a great idea." (Well what else is she going to say? It IS a great idea)

So we hang up agreeing that in the next 7 days we will have our first official martini on the hunt.

I love it! It's provocative, keeps you guessing, craving where the perfect martini will reveal itself. Will it be at Blue, Therapy, Loft 1523, or even at 1101 W. 1st Street??? I guess we'll have to keep reading (and drinking) in order to find out! Check back next week - same bat-day, same bat-channel!
