Porter and I didn't exchange gifts this year. Instead we treated ourselves to a date night out with friends which included dinner at Gumbo's followed by the Bruce Robison & Kelly Willis Christmas show at the Paramount Theater. They are our Austin favorites, and always deliver the goods. Their opening act this year was The Band of Heathens. We knew of the band, but had never heard them in person. Quite a treat! They have some powerful good singers, and are on our list to go see again in the New Year. It was a lovely evening. Our tickets came with an opportunity to meet Bruce and Kelly after the show. We felt a bit cheesey waiting around for our photo op, but we did so nonetheless. They are a sweet and genuine couple. And Oh My Lord, he is TALL.
Apparently, great minds think alike, because less than a week later, Bill and Paula went to their holiday show in Temple! They too had a photo opportunity and found Bruce and Kelly equally as gracious. Plans have been tossed about to all see the show together next year!
