Last night Freddy and I went out for date night to 9th Ave Pier. It was our first time there and we loved it. Typically we like to go to another patio bar that is further from our house, but the owners of that bar just opened this one. Same food, same service, same wonderfulness, but closer to home and a view that will knock your socks off.

The restaurant is set out on the pier so you are surrounded by water on three sides. There is a wonderful breeze off the water and the entertainment was amazing.
Typically I don't bring my camera to bars with me, unless the owners have asked me to do so for pictures for the menu or website. But this bar is having a Photo Contest! The contest is to get pictures of the sunset. Best picture wins $50.00 gift certificate. I'll work take pictures for payment of Tequila Sunrises :)

Unfortunately there wasn't a good sunset last night. But that didn't take away from the amazing time we had there. The band was amazing. It was the first time I had ever seen them and I hope they don't hate me for taking pictures of them during their performance. But I couldn't resist.
Freddy said I looked like their biggest fan taking pictures of them. Hee hee. Really they were so good I am a huge fan now. They are the "Paul Marino Band" and if you live in the area you must check out their schedule and see where they are performing.
I always wanted to be in a band. My friends and I had a band called "Underwater Scenery" when we were kids. I played the guitar and sang in our awesome band. I'm not very good at singing or playing the guitar, but that doesn't stop me from singing Johnny Cash songs all day at home. I rarely have the TV on and instead play music. I have a combination of Johnny Cash songs that play throughout the day. I always sing the June Carter parts like I'm in concert. Hee hee. I tend to sing "I'm Going to Jackson" the most.
So I was so excited that the "Paul Marino Band" was singing all my favorite Johnny Cash songs. It totally made up for the piss pour sunset.
