This was a Good Weekend™.

Friday night there was a 20s&30s dinner at tremontstshul, always a pleasant event. Lovely to catch up with awhyzip and tapuz and laurens10 and all the others.

Saturday night was the Broadway Night at First Church. I'm reasonably satisfied with my performance in the duet; while my vocal performance was not all I could have hoped for, it was also not as bad as I had feared, and I think I managed to give an entertaining performance overall. (chanaleh, of course, was amazing and a joy to perform with. And heliopsis blew my socks off.) It was wonderful to see so many friendly faces in the audience -- I always enjoy performing more in front of friends.

After the show we went out to see The Corpse Bride to celebrate jmspencer's birthday, a movie I've been eagerly awaiting and certainly enjoyed. And then alfie1981 and ironpoet and I went back to his place and introduced her to the joys of Firefly.

This morning I woke up, made myself some cinnamon rolls and coffee that I enjoyed sitting out on the back porch (somehow I never think to go out there, but the smoke alarm went off baking the rolls so I opened the door to air out the kitchen and it looked so inviting outside.) Then derspatchel and I met up to go see Mickey Rooney and his wife Jan perform at the Regent in Arlington. Spatch is the only guy I know who would really get what it meant to see Mickey live. The show was an entertaining enough mix of song, video, and reminiscences, but really, just being in the presence of this tiny giant of a man made it all worthwhile.

Just getting home now from a lovely dinner with muffyjo, and there's a slim chance I may actually make it to bed at a reasonable hour tonight.
