5 p.m. Welcome a few friends at home for a quick, decadent gathering with Trefethen Chardonnay, mixed nuts, and dark chocolate-covered Goji berries.
6 p.m. Head over to Point Brugge in Point Breeze to see Dana and Jay for a light dinner
of my custom-designed salad: 1/2 order of the “Chad Chevre Salad” with 1 Crab Cake on the side and (of course) an order of Brugge Frites. A California Chardonnay goes nicely with this meal.
7 p.m. Cab it to Consol to see TransSiberian Orchestra perform their annual holiday concert. (My favorite! The lighting is INSANE!)
10 p.m. Swing by the Attack Theatre Intergalactic Headquarters for a bit of playtime and seven-minute performances at “Game Night Plus” and to support my great friends, Michele and Peter!
11 p.m. Next stop: 1947 Tavern on Ellsworth Avenue with the crew to have a specialty cocktail, crafted with love for my Bourbon pallet. — Or, Woodford Reserve on the rocks, if I’m feeling conservative.
11:45 p.m. Dance over to SPIN to see Erich, John, and the boys for a Grey Goose Greyhound (vodka + freshly squeezed grapefruit juice) and to lip sync along to the music videos.
2 a.m. Walk home for a tall glass of ice water and a blood orange and jot down thoughts and must-do’s on a napkin. (It keeps thoughts succinct and on a 5”x5” space and helps me to remember the energy of the moment.)
