Aubree and I had a fantastic night this week all thanks to Groupon! We went to dinner at the Hornet, a local restaurant on Broadway near my house. Then we went to a concert at the Filmore. Mat Kearney opened, with his new song "Hey Mama" http://grooveshark.com/#/search?q=mat+kearney+hey+mama Then Owl City came on and played, among countless others, their hit song "Fireflies", http://grooveshark.com/#/search?q=owl+city+fireflies. At the end of the concert, Aubree and I had to run over three blocks in a torrential downpour. We were soaked and I even took off my flip flops and ran bare foot. What a great evening regardless of the rain!!
Dinner at The Hornet
It was my first time there at this restaurant and I learned that they have an outstanding Happy Hour: 1/2 off Appetizers.
A side of fried plantains!
Salvadoran Pupusas
corn pancakes with black beans, cheddar, spicy slaw, salsa and sour cream add carnitas

I got this dish for $3.50!! It was on the app menu.
Mojito: my favorite!!
Aubree's dish:
Rickshaw Panini: chicken, fried onion and jalapeno strings, swiss, coconut curry, mayo, lettuce and tomato
Almond and cherry-blossom cupcakes from a bakery up the street--super yummy!!
Owl City performing with all their lights and talent!
Such a fun night!!
GROUPON:
Aubree noticed that in small print at the bottom of our Groupon was this opportunity to send in pictures/movies with the hopes of getting some money from them. Aubree had an idea to make a little "MasterCard"-like advertisement about Groupon. We wrote the messages on our hands and tapes it at the concert. Details below:
