Let the martinis flow, to Hell with the music
Sunday, July 21, 2013
Chicago, Illinois, United States
Toronto has an amphitheatre that should be torn down and set afloat in Lake Ontario . At least that's how I feel after visiting the ultra-modern one at Millenium Park, called the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, designed by Frank Gehry. And then there's the Bean, which is a big metallic/mirrored thingy that you could just stand and look at all day. I can't begin to adequately describe it. Do a google images search and you'll see what I mean.
Late in the afternoon, on our second day, Elenka, Lynn and I went to Andy's Jazz Club over on East Hubbard St. to listen to some music. Because we weren't eating, we had to sit at the bar. The last time I saw free-pour martinis being made like the ones they do at Andy's I was in Buenos Aires. And I don't remember much of that night either.
