…as usual. But I just now got into the Grey Album (DJ Dangermouse’s mix of Jay-Z’s Black Album and the Beatles’ White Album). The song “Change Clothes” is rocking me especially hard right now.

Other exciting things: Yesterday we stopped by Venuto’s World Bistro to talk about rehearsal dinner possibilities. The owner was really nice, and the space is pretty (for those of you familiar with IC, it’s in the space formerly occupied by Gringo’s). They have a regular menu, but they also do these ethnic themed dinners. For the themed dinners, they do two seatings, and it’s reservation-only. I asked the owner if we could just fully reserve the second seating, so it would in effect be renting the entire restaurant (it’s a small place), and thus skip the space-rental fee that most places charge. She said yes! She also said we might be able to save some money just by having the set menu from the regular Friday night ethnic dinner, which is “Alpine Bavarian Night” (see menu). It looks great. Denny and I reserved a spot for this Friday night so we can test out the menu.

The food’s semi-expensive, but all in all it would end up being about the same price as anywhere else, with several advantages:

1. Handicapped accessible for my grandparents
2. Probably better food for the money (will verify this weekend)
3. Privacy (having the whole space to ourselves)
4. Right downtown
5. Possibly entertainment (musicians, etc.) included.
