Postponed Concert

It has been a long 4 months, the job hunt had a few ups and downs, but nothing permanent yet. I fell behind in the blog, again, and with so many things. In early December, we were supposed to go to the Evanenscense / Halestorm concert in Cincy, but it got canceled at the last minute. (Actually, about an hour before we were to leave. Close enough. The official email was less than 90 minutes before the doors were set to open.) Now, I already paid $235 for the night at the hotel, and it was too late to cancel, so off to Cincinnati we went. 

We arrived about when we had expected, and checked into the AC Hotel. I know I may have paid a bit extra for a river view, but it was more of Moerlein Lager House. I mean, sure, we were a few stories over it, but that was the main thing it felt like we could see from the hotel room.

We went for a quick walk around the stadiums, curious how many people missed the memo. There were a few, though what really caught our attention was a group that came from the parking lot, with signs and wigs and so on, who were upset that it was canceled. They stated they drove two hours just to be sure because they didn't really believe it when they got the email. 

We doubled back to Moerlein Lager House for dinner, which was nice since we never got to go there during the Flying Pig. It was pretty good, and it wasn't too crowded. Though, to be fair, there was a home Bengals game, just a few hundred yards away. 

We then made our way up to another interesting place down in the Banks district, titled rather logically as Fishbowl at the Banks. We sat inside for a few minutes before making our way to an igloo they had outside. We had that space to ourselves for a while, before two women joined us, carrying four jello-shots in syringes. They were also there for the postponed concert, and they handed both of us one of the jello shots. (We looked, but even with the Fishbowl logo on them, we didn't see them on the menu. They were good though.)

After some time in the igloo, we headed back to the hotel. It was a shame that we both had to work the next day, but that was part of why we had the hotel in the first place. I was still a little groggy on my way back to work, but having to drop my wife off at work on the way meant an early start for me.
