We waited for our car at The Standard after calling ahead (30 minutes before, to be exact) just to make sure the valet could get it on time, we headed for dinner and drinks and waited for 11 p.m. to roll around so we could check out the "Patron After Party". I was exhausted, but was willing to give it a go for at least an hour and a half, knowing I wouldn't make it until the 2 a.m. end time of the event. Whoa, what has happened to my youthful exuberance that would allow me to dance well into the dawn during those "college years"? Oh, well...who cares, it's the Wine and Food Festival! And, I was curious to see what goes on inside the Paris Theater.

As we crossed the street, I noticed a long line of people waiting to get in. Hold on, it's 11:10 and people are still trying to get in and the line almost wraps around the block? And, they were moving slowly. Here's a peek at the commotion.
