up to something wicked

on may 1, 2005, I saw something in the paper that was very exciting. mr. r was also very excited about it, as were several of our friends. After months and months of waiting, talking to people and getting a group together, tonight is the night.

FINALLY!

We're going to go see Wicked at the Orpheum, I'm so excited!! We tried to get tickets to see it when we visited my brother and went to New York back in 2004, but it was right after the Tonys, and it had won awards, and every show we would be around for was sold out.

So now, after years (literally) of waiting, it better be a damn fine musical and live up to all my expectations (which it definitely should, at least so says Julie Trautman.)



The other exciting part is that we're going to Steak and Ale for dinner tonight before the show! I've wanted to see what it's like in there ever since I figured out that it was still open. It's one of those places I always saw from the highway, but never really saw cars in the parking lot, I thought it was closed!
The restaurant looks like an old English inn or something like that, which intrigues me. I'm curious to see if it's old and distinguished or old and cheesy...

Steak and Ale! I just noticed that place again the other day! It's really good about not letting people know it exists.

Steak and Ale is so large. There are so many dining rooms in it, which is odd because from the highway it looks quite small.

Hmm.. sounds like Steak & Ale is sort of like the TARDIS. I seem to remember that too. MUCH larger on the inside ;)
