Field reception

What a beautiful night to be in the city.
We went to the Field Museum last night for the preview of the "Reptiles Alive!" exhibit. The caterers really leaned in to the theme with these table linens and the waitstaff were all wearing snake print shirts.
They even had reptiles on our nametags.
Now, this is how you serve appetizers.
They had cocktails and appetizers for an hour before they moved us into the auditorium for the program.
Learning all about the exhibit.
We sat near the back so we could skip out a bit early and see if they were serving food. I had the salmon (why??) and the chicken. Those gray things to the left of the salmon are mushrooms, I think. Mushrooms are ok on pizza but not like this.
Then we hit up the kids' buffet - little hamburgers with dried out buns and cold mozzarella sticks. Yum lol. (Andy heated up some soup when we got home).
I think they said there are 22 live reptiles throughout the exhibit.
This reptile was brought out, I believe, just for this reception. The handler said it's kind of like a cat. Um, no.
