Jun. 12th, 2003 11:57 pmSo. I survived family outing one of three. (Yes, my parents /did/ in fact suggest that I should have a Father's Day Lunch with them while I'm down Saturday. Anyone who bet on that, please collect winnings.)
So. My Fair Lady. Some was good. Some not. Honestly, a troupe well trained to do Gilbert and Sullivan don't really do Lerner and Lowe all that well. On the other hand, there were some bright spots.
I still really prefer Pygmalion's ending, but the Henry Higgins and Mrs. Higgins tonight were really awesome. The actor who played Higgins, Ted Christopher, really knew how to nail the role.
On the other hand, the people behind me constantly talking about things not even related to the fucking show were rather annoying. If I could sprout prehensile tentacles of death, they'd be so fucking evicerated. Rip. Schrip. SHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRED.
Mmmm. Prehensile tentacles of death.
So. Tomorrow night a late dinner with the grandparents (Good!) and Saturday, well...we deal with family.
Sunday I spend helping with the B-WISER conference.
Monday or Tuesday (I forget!!!) the Canada Contingent arrives. Then the week gets boring. But then the Canada people come back!
