Two days ago Lola started receiving calls from various family members that the girl’s high school basketball team was into the finals. Plans are made and we meet her brother downtown at the Argus before heading to Bucks for a quick burger and the short walk to the Kohl Center. Settling into one of the sections filled with yellow clad Grant County backers, we cheer for the team as they achieve a Record 6th State Championship for the Cuba City Girls. We may need to do the whole thing again if the boy’s teams move on.
After the game we head to Luther’s for the Marcia Ball show. The place is packed to the legal capacity of the club and seating is non-existent by the time we arrive. The band begins so we take an unoccupied reserved table until the rightful party arrives halfway through the first set. As usual, Marcia pounds the piano and the place rocks then pulls back on the slower soulful ballads. The crowd thins towards the end of the evening, evolving into the intimate uncrowded music box atmosphere that is so special. Well after midnight we finish the outing with the good Mexican food at La Bamba. Mmmm Taco.
