On Thursday evening I went to my first ever Paint
& Sip class. If you aren’t familiar with
this concept, you sign up to paint a picture (you chose ahead of time what you
want to paint based on the class offering day/time and a sample of what your
painting will look like). Then, when the
day of the class arrives, you meet up with anybody else that signed up for the
class and paint your photo. You also
drink alcohol (if you so desire).
Painting & Sipping wine…brilliant concept!
My friends Kelsey and Danielle have both been before
but not me. Kelsey suggested a Paint
& Sip so the two of them, along with Phoenix, Kenyon, and I also signed
up. Phoenix ended up coming down with a
pretty bad cold so she stayed home.
Kelsey was also sick but she powered through. We hope to attend another Paint & Sip
even soon.
Danielle picked me up since I was meeting Kenyon
there and riding home with him. That way
I had my DD lined up. In hindsight, this
was a bad idea because it meant I drank more than I should have. Danielle and I went to a bar called The Local
before Paint & Sip and started our party early with some chicken nachos (so
yummy), a glass of wine for Danielle, and a wine flight for me. I love anything that comes in tiny glasses.
Once you get to Paint & Sip you have to purchase
alcohol through them or pay a $15 corking fee to bring your own wine. By the time you order two glasses at $7-$9
each, you might as well have gotten a whole bottle for $17. Danielle and I went in on a bottle together
(Kenyon and Kelsey don’t drink) thinking we would take the leftovers with
us. Yeah right, that didn’t happen.
Also in hindsight, drinking BEFORE you paint might
not also be the best idea. But, I still
managed to put together a pretty good piece of art.
And above all, we had tons of fun. I can’t wait to
do it again.
