We're older and Petula Clark is older than that

Adam and I both got older in the past few weeks. He turned 29 forever and I hit 31. Yikes. But that's ok. We celebrated in style. Adam was craving Chinese food (hard to find kosher Chinese in these here parts) so we drove almost 2 hours each way to New Rochelle for Eden Wok (definitely worth it).  We stayed local for my birthday dinner and ended the night with ice cream with friends. Then tonight we went out to celebrate (an extension of my birthday and) our 6 months of being married! We drove an hour to Mohegan Sun (the casino) and went to the Petula Clark concert. Let me just say that I have always loved her, and that when I went to her concert in 2005, I thought she was amazing. Well I'm not sure what it was, but she was not good, and the audience never really warmed up to her.  The sound was poorly mixed so we couldn't really hear her. And the whole act seemed old. Oh well. Adam and I were definitely the youngest in the audience. Then we went to grab a snack and found ourselves in the loudest bar in the world - we had to leave it was so bad. Maybe we are really old. I'm not sure what generation we're in anymore. I just know that I'm exhausted from this adventure!  Here's hoping our year ahead is not too loud and is not poorly mixed, but is just right. :)

Hi. I loved the Petula Clark show last night. It was my first time seeing Petula live, so maybe that had something to do with it, but in my section people seemed to really be enjoying themselves.

My complaint about the sound was the drums were too loud, but her vocals came across well. Perhaps the speaker array is part of the problem at the Mohegan Sun Cabaret.
