It's my birthday present from my fiancee! She called Mr. Woo over at Woo Audio and he's doing me up one of his best right now! I was stunnned! I guess I'm a lucky guy. I thought I would surprise her by taking her out to St Elmo's here in Indianapolis on my Birthday and then she goes ahead and delivers a cake to the restaurant before we arrive.

Here's the love of my life that made my evening:

    My wife and I had a good laugh over that cake....said it gave her some ideas for my birthday in June....

    Hopefully it will have a nice picture of some LSi9's.

    BTW What did you think of St. Elmo's? Wife and I went there once and while the food was good, didnt really live up to the hype we thought...

    I actually had an excellent steak and my fiancee had a nice lamb porterhouse, but the service was just so so for an establishment of its kind. Judging the restaurant on the food, I was satisfied, but Morton's is still king. Their service and food is unparalleled. Nothing comes close.

    Yeah, when we went there I had the steak and I forget what she had. Mortons is on our list (as is Ruth Chris and Shula's), although our recent favorite has been Ted's Montana grill.....Their Bison meatloaf is hard to beat (and the price is very reasonable)!

    I'll have to check Ted's Montana grill out. You should also stop by Sullivan's in Keystone. They have special nights where for $35 you can eat a 4 course meal that is amazing.

    Now that is worth knowing....

    Yeah Ted's is good, only wierd thing is the straws are paper since he's a green freak...otherwise food was quite good and for under 40 you can get a real good meal...their strawberry shakes are to die for as well

    Got to love when the women like the audio. That was you can both enjoy it and you don't get as much crap when you buy something.
