Barrister Ball, aka Law School Prom

“I got a feeling, oo oo, that tonight is gonna be a good night!”

Oh Black Eyed Peas, you were so right. It was an awesome night.

We checked into the Hilt0n D0wntown. I found a great deal on Priceline and couldn’t pass it up. It was easier to take a cab to the Fox rather than drive all the way home after the event.

This hotel is just beautiful. It’s called a boutique hotel which is odd for a chain hotel, I think.

 

I mean, this is the lobby – with a big ole chandelier and grand piano in the middle!

I wish I could have hung out here because it was lovely. 

I think this was an old bank, because the gift shop was in a vault! I would have explored more, but we had an important date to get all gussied up for!

We had decided to meet up with the other law school kids at a party room in an apartment building near the Fox Theatre. It was a great place to hang out, take pictures of our lovies all dressed up and get a drink before the Ball.

The party room had some great Art Deco details that I loved.

 

What a great bar! There was another bar in front of this as well.

Don’t we look good together? I think I’ll keep him!

 

A friend of M’s being too good for a picture.

The main event started at the Fox that evening – we were even on the marquee!

We had cocktails in the lobby…

    

Dinner in the theatre…

  

And dancing on the stage!

Now, as an actor, on the stage of the most beautiful theatre in the city, what did I do?

Take pictures of the scenery of course! I may never get there again!

 

Husband and I had a magical evening – with good food, good drinks and even better friends.
