Halloween Weekend
First and foremost, here is a photo of 4 of the kittens from the litter that I am picking from - man are they EVER adorable!!! They are 3 weeks old:
OK, now that I've gotten that out of the way, it's time to summarize one rather hectic and fun weekend....
Friday I was pretty tired. I had stayed up till 4 AM finishing the mural on Thursday night so I napped at lunch and then again after work. Around 9:30 PM, I headed over to The Blue Olive to see Kizzy sing with the band Opa. It was a very nice evening - I loved the music they did and of course Kizzy was fabulous. She has a lovely voice and it was great to hear her sing something other than her usual karaoke choices. She looked and sounded fabulous! I'm looking forward to catching her the next time she performs. Oh yes - and Jamie's song was hilarious - of course!
Saturday morning I wound up getting some much-needed groceries. By the time I got them unpacked and put away, it was time to head to rehearsal. We were working on Act 2 and as soon as my scene was done I got pulled away to help out with costumes, which was a nice little change. Then it was time to head home and do more costume stuff - this time for Halloween! Kristi and Ann came over and I helped them with their hair and makeup and we had a blast getting ready together. We then headed over to the ABEC to catch the Improv there. They were very good. My cheeks were sore from smiling so much, and I certainly enjoyed a few really good deep belly laughs. I think they have done a good job organizing it. It's really worth seeing if you get a chance! (I think they'll next be performing at the Somerset Pub on December 8th.)
After Improv, we did a lot of running around. We stopped in at the Somerset Pub but no one we knew was there yet. Then we went to Churchills for a drink and an appetizer, then The Ale House to say hello to one of Ann's friends, then back to the Somerset Pub where we caught up with Kizzy and Jamie and Stephen. Kizzy and Jamie were dressed as "The Queen of Hearts" and "The Mad Hatter". Brenda had made these amazing costumes for them. You could tell she put a lot of effort into them - they were incredible! We stuck around for a little bit and I got up and sang All That Jazz then we left and went to Allain's for his house party. It was a nice gathering that was realatively low-key - which was just my speed for the evening. Here are the photos of folks in their costumes that I know you've been waiting for:
I called my costume "The Fallen Angel" because I'd lost some feathers from one of the wings - so it was easy to say that I broke it on my fall:
Here is Suzy as a "Gypsy Fortune Teller" and Kristi as "The Ghost of Marie Antoinette":
Here is Ann as a "Can-Can Dancer" and Kizzy as "The Queen of Hearts":
Here is Jamie as a "The Mad Hatter":
And Here are Allain as a "Pirate" and Anthony as "Darth Vader":
And that was Saturday night. Sunday was another busy day. I visited the kittens at Bill and Dawn's then made it back in town to the production meeting to catch up with Marzenna about makeup, then we had rehearsal where we ran the full show, then I was supposed to go to Liz's pumpkin carving party but I couldn't manage to gather the strength to go out again. I wound up having a very quiet night in. I really needed it.
