On Thursday evening, we heading to the circle for 'Happy Hour at the Symphony.' In my opinion, this is the symphony's attempt (a successful one, at that) to draw a younger crowd. They do this about once a month and thrown in some free food and drinks, which always draws a crowd. But even the concert itself is geared for the younger crowd with renditions on newer music or new twists on classics. It's also much shorter than your typical symphony performance. This was actually our second time going, though this time it was much more crowded! But I also think it was a better show.
After the symphony, we went to one of our favorite little restaurants, R Bistro. We don't go there enough, but the food is spectacular!! For those who don't know, it's just a small place way at the north end of Mass. Ave. with a weekly changing menu. We actually happened to hit it on the week of it's 10th anniversary, in which they celebrated by serving the same menu items as they did 10 years ago!
Friday we took it easy in preparation for our next cultural event, the Broad Ripple Art Fair! We didn't make it last year, but I found some cheap tickets that made it more than worthwhile to go. We went first thing in this morning in hopes of avoiding the big crowds, but I think everyone was trying to go early to beat the looming storms to the west. None the less, it was a nice stroll around the grounds of the Art Center and we even saw some things we liked... we just don't have anymore room at that moment - still trying to get what we have up! But maybe next year. Or maybe at Penrod later this year. We'll see.
All in all, it was nice to do something different for a change. I like that. It's a good way to just reconnect and spend time with each other.
