Tragically Hip
Heidi and I went on a rare date the other night. We went out to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner. Then we were going to meet up with Maurizio at a new jazz club that has just opened up here in Ancona.
We were greeted at the front door by a friend of ours who happened to be singing live that night. She was so excited to see us, and sheepishly asked us not to notice the mistakes in her English (she was singing in English that night). We went and found a seat and waited for Maurizio.
A few minutes later our friend brought over a couple of membership forms. Apparently, the jazz club is actually a club. Only members are allowed in. Later on that evening I noticed the sign on the door that says only members admitted, with a big bouncer outside the door just in case you don’t believe them.
So they accepted our application, which apparently means that we are cool enough to sit around a jazz club (those of you who know me know that is completely untrue!). As we sat there listening to our friend sing in the Alanis Morissette style (really not jazz at all), I couldn’t help but smile at the places that God brings us to be with people who wouldn’t ever come to a church service. So if it means being tragically hip at a jazz club in order to be a light, I’ll do it.
Plus, I really like jazz.
