I really love the Kansas City arts and cultural scene from live music, theatre, art galleries, etc, including the Jazz scene.  One of my very favorite local jazz pianists has a resident gig at a local Jazz club in Kansas City.  I often watch he and his band mates jam on Sunday nights.

I decided to get a group together to continue the birthday month festivities for dinner and drinks at the club.  It worked out great as we ended up having a girls night out.  A few girlfriends and one of my cousins joined me and tolerated my jazz obsession.

We sat front and center in the first row and enjoyed our wine and the piano.  The piano player gave me a birthday shout out, which made me feel important.  We moved a bit away from the stage for dinner and dessert where we indulged in delicious food, gossip, and general typical girl talk.  I just can’t describe the vibe that exists between girlfriends that aren’t catty or judgemental and are truly down to earth and friendly.  What was really neat is that the only thing that the girls had in common was me.

We had a fantastic time, the food was delicious and the wine was smooth.  What was even better is that the cute bartender made my favorite drink.  It is a refreshing summer cocktail including cucumbers.
