the boys in the band

Saw Jon perform as Harold in the revival of Mart Crowley’s play, “The Boys in the Band” last week. It closes this weekend unfortunately so if you can get still tickets I highly recommend it! Every actor was amazing, Jon was sooo awesome and just made me laugh so hard with his entertaining character. Really you couldn’t have picked a better cast to star in this play. Everyone did so well. One of the best parts about the play was also that it was in a very intimate setting. The play itself actually is set in one of the character’s apartments during a birthday party. The “stage” was arranged in penthouse apt in Chelsea so that all those coming to see the play were interspersed within the set. You could rub elbows with the actors or have a drink accidentally spilled on you because you were actually in the “apt” with them as the party took place. The action takes place literally next to you. Really great experience for a play–the idea of being “in” the play versus watching a stage from afar. Can’t wait for the next play Jon will be cast in!

last week’s desk view: gummy bunnies

Ran out of cranberries for my yogurt and granola last week so had to improvise. Haha. Bunny fruit snacks had to fit the bill. Random but still good!

Today’s rainy day addiction.  So so fun!

crazy weather & broken umbrellas (no flying cows)

 

Today was insane!!  Like a hurricane…haha…hurricane New York.  I went out for brunch thinking…”oh hey…it’s just a little rain, no biggie”.  Horizontal rain and strong winds rendered my umbrella useless.  While crossing the street, the wind blew so hard it pulled me across the intersection diagonally.  I could barely fight the wind.  Justin had to help pull me in the opposite direction just the get across the street.  Ridiculous!  I couldn’t stop laughing the whole way…haha.  Although after I got across, I then realized I totally could have gotten hit by a crossing car.  Kinda scary.  Glad my Mary Poppins moment ended quick.  It looked so graceful when she did it!  That moment shredded my umbrella for sure and as I continued down the street I saw tons of broken umbrellas rolling around.  One of the banners on the lamp post flew off and totally almost hit someone.  Kept thinking of that movie Twister and wondering if I’d see a flying cow… You know it’s a bad storm day when the “UMMMBRELLA….UUUUMBRELLA!!!” guys aren’t standing on the corners to sell you cheapo umbrellas in a pinch.
