Good gravy. WTF has happened to Sarah Silverman? Granted, it was past 11pm when she came out for her second scheduled show on Saturday night, but the lady is a paid professional - a headliner - and her piss-poor ending was as pathetic as her seemingly drug-induced introduction. Half the gals in the restroom post-show agree that SS was high as a kite, but unfortunately for us, not a good high. People laughed more at her opening act's performance (an unknown amateur). So disappointing. I was so riding on the expectation that she would be just as hilarious as her "I'm f'ing Matt Damon" skit. Just another lesson to be learned when it comes to entertainment - hope for mediocre. On a positive note, the tickets were free thanks to Budweiser!
The highlight of the evening turned out to be an enjoyable meal at Marrakesh Moroccon Restaurant. My first time there, and it was splendid. I would definitely go back. There were 6 savory courses of varying dishes:
1.A shrimp scampi appetizer served with bread
2.Tomato and lentil soup
3.A "salad" of sorts, featuring grilled and/or marinated veggies with hummus to dip
4.Beef skewers
5.Cornish game hen with veggies served over couscous
6. A powdered sugar, phylo-dough and fruit layered desert, served with some special dessert tea.
Everything was delicious. And to top it all off, great friends, great conversation, and belly dancers made for a pleasant dining experience and a fun way to celebrate my friend's birthday.
