Red, Red Wine:

I'm so tired. I was at a wine tasting party last night with 14 others and it lasted from seven at night till four in the morning. It was really nicely arranged and it was a lot of fun, but it has left me completely knackered.
A couple of my friends had bought wine from three different countries (France, Italy, and Chile) and in three different price groups from each country and then hidden the labels, so we didn't know which was which. They had made score cards and we then had to grade the wines, guess country and price range and after we had tasted all the wines we checked to see how we did. Half a point was awarded for a right guess of country or price range and out of a possible 9 points I got 4 1/2, which I thought was great considering how little I know about wine. I guessed more countries than prices ranges, which I also thought was cool. My friends had also bought a lot of different cheeses and baked all kinds of bread, so it was a pretty impressive setup.

Several of the people at the party had tickets for Grant Lee Phillips, who is playing here tomorrow. My sister asked me a couple of weeks ago if I wanted to go to the concert, but I said no, because I want to go see Camper Van Beethoven next week. And I'm going to see Aimee Mann and the following week The Flaming Lips in Copenhagen in March, so I really shouldn't spend more money on concerts right now. But since everyone seems to be going I'm going to check out some of his solo stuff today, and if I dig it I'll probably go.
