Friday night out

The weather for the past week has been horrible - temps in the mid-80s and really, really humid and windy.  We saw very little rain from the storms that slammed most of the south, but it was unusually hot and humid for April.  So, when the storms finally passed and cooler temps and lower humidity came back, we decided to enjoy it!  We headed downtown to Taco Boy for dinner (and margaritas!).  They have a fabulous outdoor patio. 

After dinner we had about an hour to kill before going to the improv comedy show at Theater 99 so we wandered around downtown.  Charleston is a bit too small to have a "real" comedy club (with touring performers and such), so this is our local alternative.  The Theater is small - maybe 100-150 old movie-theater style seats - and there's not really a bad seat in the house.  And it's only $10 to get in and no minimum food/beverage purchase required.  In fact, there's a small concession stand in the "lobby" that sells soda, beer, wine and snacks that are actually reasonably priced.  They encourage audience ideas for the different skits (thus the improv part) and one of the first skits they were looking for a destination.  I shouted out "Fargo!" at the same time someone else said "Taco Bell!".  So the destination for the skit was a Taco Bell in Fargo.  They even threw in a few "you betcha's".  It was pretty funny.  Overall, the show was good and we would go back.
