Idea #2- Coffeehouse Aucostic

      So  January 21st and 22nd, College Hill Coffee Company (music schedule is here: http://www.collegehillcoffeeco.com/music.htm) celebrated their 5th anniversary and hosted two of my favorite acoustic  folk musicians (Tracy Walker and Chris Collier on the 21st and 22nd respectfully).  The Tracy Walker show I had to miss because I needed to earn my $20 at work to spend on for this blog (lol/kjk) but on Saturday, I was a free woman.

      Luckily, I arrived to the show early to make sure I secured a seat at the front due to last year’s floor-sittin at this event being uncomfy!  So I settled in and asked Chris to sing her song about being her mother’s daughter.  (She obliged and I bawled like a baby!).  The rest of the set was also lovely and the sound engineer dude did a much better job than a show I was at recently for a different musician in Northern Kentucky!

      Since Terri had to work and because I decided to attend the show at the last minute, I was a singular broke girl today.  Anyway, the coffeehouse wasn’t as crowded on this anniversary as on anniversaries past so this made for the atmosphere to be expectantly calm and relaxing.  I sat down next to two delightful women that I didn’t know and had hilarious conversations.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t brave enough to ask for a picture with them for this blog but I did, indeed, get a couple pictures with Chris and Chris by herself as seen here:

       I told Chris about this blog and how I was at the show alone but that my blog was called TWOBROKEGIRLS2012 and she said to tell my readers (whom number in the single digits so far but are apparently higher than ’2 readers’) this: “Tell them that you got me for cheap!” -Chris Collier.  So I suppose you could say that this was still a TWObrokegirls adventure given the quote and all

Here is the immediate breakdown:
What: Music Night at College Hill Coffee Company
Where: Cincinnati, Ohio
When: January 14, 2012
Cost Analysis: 2 sharable two-cup coffee carafe @ $2.30per carafe ($4.60 for BOTH carafe) + pint of local Mango Sorbet $5.49  + $2 optional tip for performer =  TOTAL- $12.09        (under my budget (!) by $7.91!)
