Tonight I went to the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy event here in SLC. It was held at This is the Place State Monument. There is a nice venue there - Red Butte Garden held their volunteer appreciation celebrations there for a couple of years. MT was supposed to come with me, but then the Pocatello project happened. T didn't want to go, so I went by myself.
I am not familiar with the tales of Poe. Of course, I've heard of The Raven, but I can't say I know it. My assessment, after spending a couple of hours listening to four pieces, is that Mr. Poe had kind of a scary mind!
Each of the four pieces were accompanied by a cocktail. The first cocktail was fine, tasted like blueberry. The second one was a milk punch, which sounds awful, but it's not. In fact, I really like milk punch. I drank quite a few of them in New Orleans a few years back when Lizzie and I went to the city to celebrate her birthday. I had a mocktail for the third piece, and didn't even get the fourth drink offered. It didn't matter anyway because I would have had the non-alcoholic version of it.

Overall, I had a good time. It was fun to do something totally different like that, and I'd likely do it again.
