Yesterday...

Went to see Henry the Fourth with ravenslost, courtesy of Sarah the molten-metal-pouring ex-girlfriend. Thanks, Sarah! It was a good production in a good venue (California Shakespeare something-or-other, just on the Orinda side of the Caldecott Tunnel). I'd never seen the play before, it was good. Also saw fyfer and Chris there, which was a pleasant surprise.

They had a great variation on the usual fundraising plaques... In addition to getting a plaque with the donors' name(s), there was a chosen Shakespeare quote as well. There were saucy ones, pretty ones, touching ones, strange ones ("exit, pursued by a bear")... Very nice.

Yay Cal Shakes Festival. I happen to really love that theatre space, and desperately miss high school, because it was a yealy ritual that the second week of school was a fieldtrip with my English class.

SOOOOO jealous!

I love CalShakes, and just ahven't gotten around to seeing productions there for a couple years now. NOTE TO SELF: go see a play! Dambit!

Glad you took Raven. I'd told her about performances there and intended to get her over there since I figured our favorite theater geek would enjoy the setting.

The Play in August is Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest." :-) Just so you know.
