Blues and BBQ Weekend

So Miss Audrey Allure and I planned to go out to a concert in Williamsburg and then the Blues and BBQ at Pier 54.  We attempted to go to the concert but it was pouring so hard we decided to leave the line.  We waited about 20 mins before we said "fergit it."  Lol.  By the time we got back into the city the rain let up somewhat and we decided to take a chance and walk over to the pier.  The BBQ looked good but we didn't buy any there, we stayed for a little while to listen to the music but it started to drizzle so we decided to head back to the car before it started pouring again.

Hehe, thought this was a funny graffiti pic.  We saw this walking towards the concert... right before it started pouring.


While walking over to the pier we saw some kind of street fair/festival going on.  There were dancers on the street, not sure what holiday it was but they were dressed in some kind of outfits, we were guessing Mexican.




There's the pier....



Gee, good thing I left my weapons at home... hehehe.



Mmm, look at that cooked meat.  I'm sure it looks tastier when the pork is actually "pulled."  It sure smelled delicious.



It was rainy so they lines weren't that long but it looked like they were busy before judging by the small crowds by the little tables they had set up.



Not one table free.



This line looked more crowded.  I think it was cheaper and a little more famous.  This stand was set up by Brother's BBQ.  A pretty famous BBQ joint in Times Square.



The blues band performing, the crowd was mostly behind us since all the chairs were filled with little puddles of water.  We stood for a little while then got bored.



A very soaked Miss Audrey while filming the performance on her Blackberry.  She's going to kill me for posting this pic of her... hee hee.



Back in the car, and just in the nick of time, it started pouring buckets!  Again!





Stopped by TGIFridays for dinner.  I had the beef stroganoff and that's Miss Audrey's frozen drink, don't remember what it was but it looked yummy.





Despite the rain it was a nice relaxing day.  Nothing crazy went on, it went relatively smoothly.  Not looking forward to work tomorrow but the bills have to get paid.  *sigh*  Hope you all had a great weekend too.

  1. Too bad it was raining as the BBQ looked pretty good. Nothing like meat simply prepared. Delicious....

  2. Yeah, we didn't eat there because we weren't hungry then but it did smell really good. :)
