Friday was hot date-night on this traveler's calendar as Ad and I braved the frigid Seattle streets at night and caught Kim Virant at the Triple Door. I'd read rave reviews about the venue, and Kim Virant had played there before - but alas, at the time I was a lonely single bloke, and uncomfortable with the idea of sallying forth to such a swanky juke joint flying solo. Hot gal around my arm this time, however, the Triple Door and the divine Miss Virant didn't disappoint. A scrumptious asian-fusion dinner and cocktails was followed by a great performance, though I was still left yearning for Kim's former bandmate Brian Kenney, in attendence, to join her onstage to blow the doors down with a couple blistering tunes from their band, the legendary and much-missed Lazy Susan.
