Dateland: Stateside diner

Happy weekend to all! As a celebration of our essay hand-in (just one step closer to being done, only three more recordings, one more portfolio hand-in and four more recitals then we're done!), Will and I went on a lunch-date to Stateside diner on Pink Lane.
It's this little back-alley, but well worth finding, as it has lots of cool places on it such as the Forth hotel, the Town Wall, and lots of awesome little shops. Stateside is one of those 50s American-style diners which are super popular with the teenage crowd, and they have the most wonderful milkshakes, (also alcoholic milkshakes and alcoholic soda floats), so we don't mind being the oldies in the corner!
I had a look through the jukebox for this song but sadly, they didn't have it. Lots of other awesome songs though! Not enough songs nowadays have an excellent saxophone solo, or a really casual key change. "Yeah, we just modulated. What of it?"


Reese's peanut-butter milk shakes


We ended up having quite the debate about who was prettier - Elvis or James Dean. Elvis is definitely prettier, but James Dean wins in terms of rugged manliness...

   Date rundown:
Location: Stateside Diner
Occasion: Essay hand-in celebration
Food: Chicken Burger with curly fries, BBQ burger with Cajun fries, peanut-butter milkshakes
High point: When we realized that a LOT of the songs on the jukebox sounded as if they were being sung by Kermit the frog
