We Google the address for McKibben pub and drove there. We were a bit early so we waited in the car and arrived outside the pub 5 minutes before it was to start. We went in to ask if anyone was already there and the waiter had no idea what we were talking about. We went back outside and tried to call the number and got voice-mail. I replied to the text asking for help…”
