We had lashed out and gone for the ' Tapis Rouge ' tickets and that just added tot he feel of the evening - that and having payed for them so far in advance that the pain had faded . :) Free parking , free alcohol ( red & white wine , champagne , beer and some soft drinks ) and nibbles ( sushi , chinese pork buns etc ) and a few other bits and pieces - not to mention good seats ! And the show was just wonderful !
According to the above context, answer the following question.
Why did the narrator enjoy the night out ?
