NAC

Something the I enjoy is going to the NAC and checking out the shows there. It's much cheaper if you can go as a live rush, but you can't count on seeing a show on a certain night if you do.

Short story: Laura and I were planning to see a show 2 (?) weekends ago. We bought tickets about 2-2.5 weeks in advance. Had everything planned out. We ate in the west end, and just like me, we were almost "late". We rushed there, and got there with a whole 4 minutes to spare. Sweet. We walked in, looking around, and a lady said "are you looking for the [what we were seeing] show?". I said yes we were. She goes "Oh, it was cancelled like 2-2.5 weeks ago. It's been in all the media.". Grumble. I don't know what "media" she was talking about, 'cause no one in Laura's family or mine heard about it at all. But it wasn't all bad: I didn't have to pay for parking and we got time to wander around the tulip festival. The moral of the story: when going for a show, call / check to see if it's been cancelled first.

My folks went to see Pélagie yesterday and really loved it. My dad has a tendency to fall asleep during shows and never stands for standing ovations. Apparently he was the first one standing last night. Weird. It must have been really good.
