WEEKENDNEWS
Where to start? Friday night, I went to see Spiderman with Jackie (who was my date for the entire weekend). I gave Hollywood one last chance to win me over to their Summer Blockbusters. I have to admit that it was better than Star Wars and watching Tobey Maguire in tights was not a hardship but I had issues with continuity and location. The jury is still out as to whether Hollywood has been redeemed.
Saturday, I met up with fellow bloggers Jackie, Betsy and Shetha for lunch. Shethat was visiting from my home town of Vancouver, WA. She brought along a new recruit for the NYC S-n-B, Susan. We're looking forward to Stitching and Bitching with her.
After lunch, Betsy, Jackie and I got adventurous and headed uptown to the The Yarn Company. I was able to get some Cotton Classic to make more fruit caps. That's right, I now have a Strawberry, Peach and Raspberry that have been completed and a Blueberry on the way. I took pictures of them but have to wait for my old technology - you know, get the film developed. They will be posted this week.
Last night was the pinnacle of my weekend. My former employers, Dodger Theatricals, Inc. threw a blow out party for the Tony Awards. They won awards for both of their nominated shows, Into the Woods and Urinetown, The Musical!. So on top of the revelry of the wins, I got caught up in seeing so many of my long lost friends. Matt came up from North Carolina; Jose flew in from Germany; and my favorite dancing partner, Jerry, came back from Chicago. I am happy to say that signs point toward some af these expatriots moving back home.
As I meandered back home last night, I had a very unusual experience. My cab driver actually waited at the light for me to get into my building safely. Maybe it was the 30% tip or maybe it was because it was 3 AM. In any case, it was something that had never happened to me before. Friends and family do that, but never a cab driver!
My last thought for this morning goes out to Betsy. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
