#1 Sometimes it is good to forget your camera.
#2 When a group needs good representation, send in your best & most qualified delegate. This usually means a lawyer.
On Saturday night, we left William with his favorite babysitter, and traveled to Salt Lake for a party-night double-header. We first attended a dignified and well-attended baby shower in Olympus Cove for our 40-something friends, John Birkenshaw and Rashelle Perry. We then went to the not-so-dignified Duffy's Tavern to help John Nicolaysen celebrate his 40th Birthday.
Although each party was fabulous, the transition between these parties was akin to attending Harvard in the morning, and then Animal House in the afternoon. We went from a group of M.D.'s and J.D.'s. to a group of I.P.'s (Inebriated Peoples).
Duffy's is a classic dive bar, complete with a jukebox, pool table, and an eclectic crowd. The place completely rocks. As the evening at Duffy's wore on, someone mentioned going to Trails Did this mean we were going for drinks at a place like Ocean Trails Golf Club? Or, would it be like Trail's End in Deer Valley?
The answer was neither - Trails is a strip club in Salt Lake, and since I believe in trying everything once, I put on my "citizen journalist" hat, and decided to make a go of it. I would sit in the back and take notes while enjoying a tasty late-night sandwich and a club soda.
If we had followed the advice from #2, I could have provided a detailed description of Trails. Unfortunately, the leader of our delegation, who took charge of getting us into the club, was an IP. We never made it past the front door. Long story short, always let the wise-beyond-her-years lawyer be your delegate. Not only are you guaranteed admission, but a few good laughs as well.
