After being set up by a mutual friend, Gus texted Steph and we set up a time to grab dinner one night after work. The weekend before our planned date, Gus reached out and asked spur of the moment if Steph would like to go see a show at the 9:30 Club on Sunday night, May 21st, 2017. Feeling spontaneous, Steph said yes and our first meeting ended up being over steak nachos and margaritas at El Rey before going to see Laura Marling, what would be the first of many concerts together. We decided to keep our original dinner date the next night, and well, everything else seemed to fall in place after that! For the next couple of years on our anniversary, we looked up whoever was playing the 9:30 Club on May 21st, bought tickets, and kept our original date at El Rey for steak nachos and margs.
