Day 16 - On the town at Tucanos

Tucanos on the boss’ tab, originally uploaded by joel.tobey.

We finally had a date night tonight! It’s been several months since we’ve been able to get a babysitter and our schedule to match up so we could go out. And this date was already paid for since last September. The VP of Sales and Marketing told me that if I got a certain feature in the big fall release that he would pay for dinner and a movie. Well, we’re finally cashing in! We had an excellent dinner at Tucanos and we saw one of our favorite meat guys, Matt, there as well.

After dinner, we went across the street to see Sherlock Holmes. We had some trouble with tickets though. Apparently Fandango had my tickets for yesterday night instead of this night. I ended up paying for tickets again, but the manager was really nice and only charged the kids price. I called Fandango to get my other tickets refunded and the movie manager also gave us some comp tickets. In the end, it was a good, but it took some headache to get there and I’m not using Fandango again.

Sherlock Holmes was really good. I could have done without some of the details of the dead animals, but it was crucial to the plot. I liked the cinematography and the character development of Holmes. I hope they make another one.
