Date Night: Mexican Masked Wrestling & Burlesque

The TV Guide
Friday, October 30th, 2009

Last night was Date Night for David and me and because it was my turn to choose, I decided that we would do something that neither of us have ever done before but I have ALWAYS wanted to. Ever since I moved to LA over 3 years ago, my good friend Adriana has been urging me to go see Lucha VaVoom! I’ve always been curious about Mexican Masked Wrestling and I can appreciate a good burlesque show so I was intrigued … but every time the show took place here in LA, I was out of town. This year, thankfully, David and I were in town to see it … and it was a blast:


The masked wrestlers and burlesque dancers (Sexo Y Violencia) were really fantastic … here are some scans from the show program of last night’s performers:

Date Night: Pumpkin Pickin’

The TV Guide
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Last night was Date Night for David and me which came a little early this week because David’s sisters are coming to town on Thursday (or normal Date Night night) and last night was our only free night this week. As you may recall, I was in charge of Date Night last time and we enjoyed a fun night of rollerskating … David was in charge last night and he decided that we would go pumpkin picking!


He took us to Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch and we has a lot of fun picking out the perfect pumpkins to carve. Since we’re still a couple weeks away from Halloween, we didn’t carve the pumpkins just yet but it was fun making our selections. After the patch, we went to Sweet Chili for a delish Thai dinner. It was a very fun, very cute night.

Tonight David and I will be attending a meeting of The Turtle Party: Book Club so that we can discuss Kurt Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions. Our next book will be selected tonight as well so be on the look out for that announcement.

Date Night: Roscoe’s & Rollerskating

The TV Guide
Friday, October 9th, 2009

Because David and I are always on the go and we tend do things with a lot of our friends, we decided to institute a standing Date Night for just the two of us where we take turns planning a night of fun where we PRIMARILY do things that we don’t usually do. Because David loves to do active things and I don’t, and I love to go to concerts and he doesn’t we decided to try and find new things that we both might like … or at least would like to do together. I took the initiative to plan our first Date Night last night and decided we would have dinner at Roscoe’s House of Chicken N’ Waffles:


I’m a big fan of fried chicken and waffles and I urge all y’all to try it sometime. A friend took me to Roscoe’s many years ago and I’ve always wanted to go back … David and never been there so that’s where we went. Needless to say, we both enjoyed our fabulous meal :) The main event was an activity that I thought we would both enjoy and that we have never done together. After the jump, find out where we went for our Date Night fun …
