Stars at the Triple Door, the Can Can, Ceu

So last night Ross treated a select few to a special treat at the Triple Door. The Canadian band, Stars, were in town and Ross got us VIP tickets and the entire VIP lounge where we could view the show from up on high. For those where have never been to the Triple Door, there is no other music venue like it in Seattle. It attracts musicians from all over the world, musicians who want to have an intimate show with their fans. Unlike most music venues, the Triple Door is a seated venue/supper club, where you wine and dine throughout the performance. The sound quality is also one of the best Seattle has to offer as well. Ross had me try several new cocktails, with my favorite being a Thai Guavarita, where there is a muddled Thai chili in the drink. The spice was perfect. It was so delicious I had three.
Post show and not being ready to head home, Ross and I, along with a few others, went to join the Stars crew at the Can Can. The Can Can is an interesting place in a basement under Pike's Place Market and the home of one of the best burlesque dancers in Seattle, as well as home of the several absinthe cocktails. The ambiance is nice with low red lighting and well placed candles. The decor resembles an old brothel.
Before I go, I must write about another notable performance I saw a few months back. It was Ceu,a Brazilian artist, who I saw with Sarah and who blew us away with her stage presence and sexy Portuguese accent. Her afro was gorgeous, as well as the way she opened herself up on stage. She was intoxicating and seeing how Sarah was blown away too, I know it wasn't just me.
