Sep. 28th, 2016 07:11 amLast night I went to the Argent Society Party for the Mayo Clinic, aka my employer.
The Argent Society is for employees who have worked for Mayo for 25 years or more. For those working 25, 30. 35. and 40+ years you get a meal and then the entertainment. For all others you get the entertainment.
So I was eligible for both the meal and the entertainment. After reading the menu, I skipped the meal and decided to go see the entertainment. The meal was just too Froo Froo for me. I would have been picking half of it out to not eat. Even the dessert was bleck for my tastes. They had chocolate cake with pistachio filling. What's wrong with just plain chocolate cake?
On to the entertainment, the doors were suppose to open at 6 pm and the show was suppose to start at 6:45 pm. I arrived at 6:30 pm and the show was already in progress.
Thank you so very much for waiting for everybody to arrive.
The show consisted of a Beatles tribute band. I think they were called Legends of Liverpool. Or something like that. Then the CEO came out to praise and thank us for being such great employees. I was tempted to shout out, if you love us so much, why did you close down the employee cafeterias on the weekends then? ARGH... Next was a comedian, sorry, can't remember his name. He was really quite funny though. Although it is easy to come to Minnesota and joke about our weather. lol... The main act was the OLD band The Lovin' Spoonfuls. I realize they are entertaining their old fart employees, but did they have to higher our grandparents. LOL... Okay, cruel on my part, they were still pretty good, but they didn't have a ton of hit songs. I think three of the fairly original members were still with the band. From the video below, the drummer is now one of the singers with white hair and beard. The guy on keyboards is bald. The lead guitar guy looks pretty close to that buy pretty grey. LOL...
PS: Why didn't somebody remind me to put bandaids on the back of my heels as I was wearing new dress shoes and suffered the consequences. :o
