That's funny you should mention that when you did.
I am going to one tomorrow, a combination gourmet food/wine tasting/dancing/ Blues band (Mora)/Mardi Gras festival/charity bonanza, and the tickets are expensive, as it's a "high society" event (to the extent such exists around here!!!)
Not only that, also I have a hot date, a "real melter!!"
She likes Coltrane and Miles, too, and is really vivacious, articulate, and elegant, quite sexy looking and accepted the invitation with enthusiasm. She is the marketing director here.
The Mercedes is still in the shop getting painted, so I will need to use the Subaru Outback or maybe some rental car....grrrr
I will report back...
