A very full weekend
Friday night I couldn't take it anymore. I needed a night off. So, it being Joanna's last Friday living in town, we decided to make it a full evening out. We started out at 4:30 with drinks at Happinez. Then popped into the Handworks gallery show (amazing pottery - I was very tempted to get something, but then I thought about my kittens and how I have no sacred spots left in the apartment where I can leave anything even remotely fragile out. It was a nice showing and nice to see a few folks that I don't often get to see as well. We then decided to get a bit of food into our systems so we headed over to Taco Pica - yum! Then it was off to Sebastians, where we waited for a while for even a drink menu but they were kinda busy and seemed a bit scattered and we left without having had anything about 10 minutes after a waiter had said he'd drop a drinklist over. So- back across the street for another glass of wine at Happinez before hopping in a cab to go cheer Kizzy on at The Blue Olive. She has a bunch of new songs in her repetoire and is now singing throughout the 3 sets. And she rocked, as usual! Joanna and I stayed right to the bitter end. It was great - love the atmosphere there and it's always nice to see that gang!
Saturday was an early morning - catching up with Colin over a bite to eat at Reggie's and then in to work for the day. It's amazing how much one can get done when there's no one else in the office! After that, I popped home to freshen up and got a bite to eat and then went to see Moonchildren, which was very enjoyable! Great script, well-staged, well-cast and some really good acting. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. I wound up sitting right at the front (I kept moving forward because tall people and people with huge hair who didn't slouch kept sitting right in front of me.) and had a great view of the show and actually got a bit caught up in the emotions of the characters, which I hadn't expected. Kudos to everyone involved in that production. After the show I enjoyed a beverage and salad at the Ale House while I caught up with more friends. My goodness - I hadn't had a chance to see a few friends and catch up with them in person in absolute eons. Thank goodness for blogs so I can at least keep "in touch" with them that way! Oh yeah, and I stopped in at the cast party for a bit, but wasn't exactly drinking and it wasn't really my party - I just wanted to cheer on some friends, oh and I knew I'd have to work in the morning, so I didn't stay too long.
Sunday. Trouble getting up. It was all starting to catch up with me. Met Colin at Reggie's for breakfast (yes - twice in one weekend - how extravagant!). Ran into Stephen and Sandra and William who was adorable as usual and quite a handful at the age of 2. (If only the boundless energy of childhood could somehow be saved for those times when you need a Monday morning boost once you're an adult.) I then ran out to pick up a couple of grocery necessitates that couldn't be put off any longer. And then - back to the office. Yep. Gave myself time to eat and have a power-nap before heading back out to the production meeting for The Crucible. That rolled right into our first read-through which went quite well (if perhaps a bit long) and the next thing I knew, it was about 10:30 and I finally go to go home and do a bit of weekend relaxing. LOL
