Today's weather was really nice.  I got up late after a great night's sleep and hung out around Chris' porch.  I went home for a few hours and he called me around 6 to ask if I wanted to have dinner with him.  He cooked up some burgers (on which I passed) and I asked him if he wanted to go to Johnny Manana's with me in East Falls.  I called earlier to ask if they had live music and it turned out that one of my classmates, Rich Cox, was playing there from 8-11.  

I texted Monica and asked if she and Russ wanted to come, too.  She invited us over for homemade guacamole and pico de gallo which was really incredible.  It was by far the best version of each of those dips I had ever had.  After hanging around for an hour or so, we headed down to East Falls and got to Johnny Manana's around 8:30.  

Johnny Manana's is a really neat little place.  There is a bar, outdoor seating, and amazing margaritas.  I had a watermelon margarita which Monica, Chris, and I thought was really pretty delicious.  Monica also had a mojito which she thought was delicious.  During one of Rich's breaks in between sets, he asked me to sing with him, but I'd unfortunately requested the one song I knew all of the words to.  I eventually sang "Fly Me to the Moon" with him which the old men in the establishment loved.  It was such a great time and I'm really looking forward to going back to hear Rich on Wednesday.
