My current #1 SB on my A-List rotation is going to be 21 this month. She is a beautiful Asian Spinner going to college for a Digitial Art degree. She doesn't drink and isn't interested in starting once she is 21 - not a problem for me (think of the $$ I have saved on expensive wine when I take her out for upscale dinners!).
When I asked her what she wants to do when we celebrate her birthday, she asked me to take her out for live music. Now what kind of music does a 20-something Vietnamese babe like to listen to? I am literally 3 times her age! (Didn't want that to sound like a humble brag, but hey if the shoe fits...

. Fortunately. she told me she likes jazz, R&B, and 80-90's rock - which really helps. I was not looking forward to buying $750x2 tickets for some Taylor Swift-level concert! So now I needed to find a local place with suitable live music. My next problem, most of the small live music acts around here on a Sunday night are in bars - 21 and over bars - and our birthday date is 3 days before her 21st birthday.
Yelp to the rescue! First I used Yelp to search for "live music on Sunday night." From those results I found a few decent restaurants that feature live jazz music on Sunday. Problem solved. Now we will have dessert 1st (if you know what I mean) and then get a great dinner with live jazz music after.
Now I just need to find a way to talk her down off the "Daddy I want a new ($3,000) Dior handbag for my birthday" ledge. Maybe a gift certificate for Bloomingdales? LOL.
What about you? What practical resources and techniques have you developed to plan dates for your SB's (that like to go out)? Sharing is caring.... because...
Life is good
