We went to Mohegan Sun to see Richard Jeni perform, which was a really good show. We’ve seen him on TV a few times and liked him, and since he was going to be nearby we decided to go.
We went to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse for dinner beforehand. Neither of us had gone before, but it was supposed to be really good steak, and as long as we were having an occasion, we decided to go. The fact that I have a $50 gift card didn’t hurt, it paid for almost half the meal! It was certainly very good steak, and the service was great as well. We’ll probably go back again, when we’re feeling up for sometthing relatively fancy. If you’re just trying to get steak, Outback is almost as good. The portions are smaller, but it costs about 1/3 as much, so it is hard to complain.
On the way back from the concert, at about 2am, we ran out of gas, so we were stuck on the side of the road. We almost made it! It was about 3 minutes from the house, and we had just driven past a gas station that was still open, but thought we’d make it home ok and be able to get gas in the morning. I guess not. The gas light turns on for a reason I guess. 🙂 S’s parents had a full portable can of gas that they brought and we were back home not too much later, with no harm done, so that was fine. We were sitting there maybe 5 minutes when a police car pulled up to see if we were ok. It’s nice to know they’re out and around at night, rather than hanging out at the station. I don’t think Dunkin’ Donuts is open all night here, so they have to do something.
Overall it was a good night. Good food, a show, and quality time watching people at the casino. It’s amazing how many people go through there, and how much money. We watched someone drop at least $300 at roulette just while we were watching. Weirdos. Although we’re thinking about saving up for a big night of throwing money away at some point too. We might actually spend more than $10!
