I spent Saturday with Cate and Allie (not to be confused with -- per one of my coworker's last week when I was talking about my upcoming weekend plans).

Veggie Planet was takeout-only due to The Campfire Festival at Club Passim*, so we ate at Grendel's Den -- yay eating outside :)  I got vegan chili (I forgot that chili means onions :( ) and linguini with pesto (what I was actually given was shells pasta, but since I prefer that to spaghetti-like pasta, I wasn't complaining).

*Looking it up online, Campfire Festival includes Mya Elaine and Brooke Brown Saracino.  Hello people I went to college with.  (Mya was my first year roommate.)

We were a little pressed for time, and as we were heading to the bus, Cate said, "I know Elizabeth has strong feelings about being on time."  She used the "strong feelings" phrasing twice, so then I had to tell the story of Ian and Andy from like a month ago at work.

I successfully paid attention to street signs and read the map I had printed out, so that after we got out at Dudley Station I took in the correct direction to get to the venue.  \o/

We had apparently been issued tickets for the evening performance rather than the matinee (and I didn't even notice on the confirmation email), but they were far from sold-out, so we got our tickets reissued -- same table and everything.

Yeah, I am not big on the comedies.  Read more... )

I didn't look up local ice cream places in advance, so we just took the #1 back to Harvard and got ice cream at Herrell's -- and ate in the vault this time.  I got a coconut chocolate chip, which was good.

Press release:
The Norwood High School drama program will perform two versions of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing over the next two weeks at the Savage Center. The original play, transplanted to the rock club world of an 80's teen movie, complete with Pac Man, Rubik’s Cubes, great music, and bad haircuts, will be performed [snip]. Shakespeare’s classic comedy of loves, lies, and the “merry war” between men and women features the quarreling Beatrice and Benedict, the noble Don Pedro, young lovers Claudio and Hero, and the deceitful Don John in a fun-filled night of Shakespeare and swatches.

The local thespians will also perform John Quinn’s contemporary original adaptation of the play, Love Hurts, at [snip], also at the Savage Center. Set at Messina Prep in rural Massachusetts, the play explores the biting rivalry of the witty and beautiful Beatrice and her comic nemesis Benedict. The malicious pranks of the evil Don John and the dangerous matchmaking of his half-brother, the charming and popular Don Pedro, and his accomplices disturb the harmony of the school in this offbeat slapstick romantic comedy.
I had never read/seen Much Ado before, so I figured since I’m not keen on Kenneth Branagh that I would jump on this opportunity. To nobody’s surprise, I learned that I do not like this play. [Clarification: I saw Much Ado today. And since the play is pain, I do not expect to be seeing the remix next weekend, though I admit to being tempted.] this play is pastede on unyay )
