Good evening!
Boy does it take me a bit of time to read through a day's worth of notes... And a nice day's worth it is.
Both shows went well today, and the lightboard behaved during both performances. Whew!
Between shows, the conductor and I headed to Chinatown to get some dinner. Originally, we had planned to check out a new wood-fired-oven pizza place - yes, in Chinatown - but ended getting sidetracked on the way there by an old favorite of mine that had reopened in a new location, Eat First. It's one of those bare bones, no decor places, but the food is amazing! And the food was amazing - except that our hot and sour soups arrived not so hot, more like lukewarm... but the main dishes were great. I got my usual, which is Fried Bean Curd Stuffed with Shrimp Paste. It was like an old friend - not that I would eat an old friend... oh, nevermind. Such a great dish - and a lot more tasty than the title of it sounds. On the way back, we stopped into an asian supermarket and picked up some treats for later. He got green tea ice cream, and I picked up a four pack of taro and coconut popsicles. YUM! And I also picked up a container of those lychee "gels", but in the new "safer" version since the original "design" was actually a choking hazard for small children. *I know this will be amazingly confusing to a lot of you, but if it's not, you know what I mean.
So....
Two more shows tomorrow, and then another glorious day off. And this time, I won't have to wake up early on Tuesday morning to head back up to DC since we don't have a noon matinee this Tuesday. YEAH!!!! -This will also give me more time to bake... and I plan to quite a bit this time round - have to make up for last week. Of course, if I end up heading out to dinner with the same person I had dinner with last week.... We'll see...
Well, it's late, and I've been up since 7:30... so... Goodnight.
