<\/a><\/p>\nThere were only a few times where Miss B moped at the window, wondering where daddy was. \ud83d\ude1b She was a good cuddle partner while he was gone. Then Michael got back Friday and we went to see Faith No More in Portland!<\/p>\n It’s his favorite band. Like of all time. They haven’t toured in like 20 years<\/a> or something like that, and Michael said he skipped the last tour because he hadn’t liked that current album and he said he’d regretted skipping it all these years. I was excited to go to the concert because I’m a casual FNM fan but I’ve heard they are amazing live and I knew it would be a fun experience.<\/p>\n I took a half day off from work Friday and went swimming and by the time I got home Michael was back from Seattle. We got ready to go and went out for dinner before the show. We ended up at Slow Bar<\/a> and got a table outside in the gorgeous sunshine.<\/p>\n Michael got the happy hour fried chicken and hush puppies and I got the curry chicken salad sandwich with a salad. My sandwich was great! It was so tasty. It had onions, grapes, raisins and currants in it. I was not a fan of the herb vinaigrette salad dressing, but I still ate the salad because I was craving greens. The toasted and spicy nuts on the side were a nice addition, too.<\/p>\n I’d been fighting off a cold or something for a few days and it was mostly a sore throat, which sucked, so I stuck with iced tea and didn’t have anything to drink. After eating we drove downtown and met up with some friends of Michael’s. Apparently he’d run into an old high-school buddy at the Seattle show who was also seeing the show in Portland, so we met up with their group. It was funny–Michael was running into SO many people he used to know and hadn’t seen in decades. It was kind of cool.<\/p>\n The show was at The Keller<\/a> and it was a really nice venue for the show. The acoustics were amazing and the band sounded great live! I love it when bands sound pretty much the same as their albums live.<\/p>\n We were sitting with our good friends Mike & Susanna (whom we went to Hawaii with<\/a> a few years ago). They’d gotten a babysitter for their two kids and were out on a date night! It was fun hanging out with them.<\/p>\n So the show…they played all the biggest hits and some of the new songs, but mostly they played the favorites. I posted a few short videos<\/a> on my Instagram<\/a> if you want to check it out. They played a bunch of my favorites (including “Easy”) and Mike Patton pulled up a pregnant woman from the audience up on stage and danced with her while he sang it. Then he made a joke at the end of the song that he might have gotten her pregnant during that song. LOL It was pretty cute and man, what a cool story for that lady! You can see the set list here<\/a>. And you can see better pictures that mine here<\/a>.<\/p>\n One thing I was bummed about…they didn’t play “our song” in Portland (but they did play it at the Seattle show and Michael texted me about it from the mosh pit LOL). It’s “This Guy’s in Love With You<\/a>” (it’s a Burt Bacharach song) and we had the song play at our wedding when we cut the cake. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n Mike Patton asked the audience what food cart was the best because he wanted to get some food. \ud83d\ude00 And when he was in Seattle they ate at Dick’s. Of course.<\/p>\n I can’t get over how amazing they sounded! It was such a good show! It ended around 11pm after they did a few encores and the four of us decided to go out for a bit.<\/p>\n We ended up at Luc Lac<\/a> downtown. It’s a super popular Vietnamese restaurant that always has a line, which is why I’ve never been. I’ve wanted to, but you know me and standing in long lines for food… \ud83d\ude1b It was nearly midnight and the place was packed. It’s kind of a weird place–you order and pay first, get a number and your drinks, then stand around and wait for a table. There’s really no where to stand, either, so it’s kind of annoying. They have a ton of rules around eating there–you can’t order until everyone in your party is there, there’s no saving seats, etc etc.<\/p>\n It’s a cute little restaurant, though. Cool wallpaper, tons of parasols on the ceiling, hip music. It’s a neat place for sure and the food was outstanding.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
