Vicki (my wife) has agreed to drive my parent's motor home as our "sag wagon/motel". Needless to say this has created a huge husband-point deficit for me. Therefore when she hinted that she really wanted to attend the Van Cliburn competition this year it was hard to say no.
Thursday evening we made our first trip to the Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth. The Bass is a beautiful building and sits in an entertainment district called Sundance Square. We decided to make it a date night and take advantage of a P.F. Chang's gift card we had received as a gift.
Probably should have brought the GPS with me as we circled Sundance Square a couple of times working up both an appetite and blisters before finding the restaurant.
While the meal and service were good I won't be heading back to any P.F. Chang's again. You see when it came time to pay they explained out gift card had "expired".
Am I the only one who finds it crazy that a compay will take your money and then tell you sorry - you didn't spend it with us fast enough?
OK the secret is out...I view gift cards as one of the greatest scams since AIG.
By the way, while our local newspaper critic didn't think much of the perfromances we say I was impressed. These kids (15-25 years old) play almost non-stop for an hour mostly from memory musical numbers that make my fingers hurt just watching them.
