DINNER 299: Friday, October 27, 2006

My premonition came true! As it turns out, I am psychic. I’m just a better psychic than I expected, seeing not ONE DAY but more than ONE WEEK into my dining future. I was right — Dave (who plays Dr. Scott (great Scott!) in the ROCKY HORROR…

DINNER 300: Saturday, October 28, 2006

Dinner before this evening’s performance of the ROCKY HORROR SHOW at Falcon Theater was a run through Taco Bell for a couple quesadillas and one of their awesome Caramel Apple Empenadas. Between shows, we had sandwiches, chips, and sodas brought in (thanks Ted & Tracy!) so…

DINNER 306: Friday, November 3, 2006

Tonight marked the first night of the last weekend of the ROCKY HORROR SHOW at Falcon Theater, and what a ride it’s been! We had a sold-out house this evening (with a waiting list) and another sold-out house (with waiting list) to anticipate for Saturday, our closing night. Two of my students, Matt and Kristen, came to see the show and seemed to really enjoy it.

The show is going very well and is well-received by the audiences.

Before the show, Dave & I met for dinner at the Pepper Pod and were eventually joined by Robin, who has an opening night of his show tonight. Break a leg, Robin! I had a steak hoagie, some cottage cheese, onion rings, and a slice of cherry pie for dinner.

DINNER 333: Thursday, November 30, 2006

Wendy and I went down to Owensboro Kentucky so she could participate in the 30th annual Madrigal Dinner hosted at her undergrad, Kentucky Wesleyan College. She was particularly excited that “Doc” (whose real name I never learned!) was coming back to conduct the assembled chorus. We…

DINNER 334: Friday, December 1, 2006

Tonight was the first night (of two nights) of the Madrigal Dinner at Kentucky Wesleyan College. This evening is the performance that I attended, and it was very nice.

A brisk night in Owensboro Kentucky was a lovely contrast to the warm, inviting room (well, gymnasium) that had been set for the Madrigal. Approximately 70 singers (currently Kentucky Wesleyan Singers as well as the returning alums (including Wendy)) had lovely powerful voices through a variety of songs, including THE DONKEY’S GIFT by “Doc” himself.

The meal was traditional — mulled cider, salad, carrots, roasted pork with stuffing, freshly-baked bread, and chocolate mousse cups for dessert. Everything was very tasty, and I had good company at our table — the husband and parents of one of Wendy’s friends who was also singing (the two girls were dressed identically the first night!), a couple of locals, and two students (both football players for KWC). The conversation was light and lively and the Madrigal Dinner went far to promoting the holiday spirit.

After the show, a group of the alums descended on O’Charlies for snacks and drinks.

DINNER 335: Saturday, December 2, 2006

Tonight was the second (and last) night of the Madrigal Dinner at Kentucky Wesleyan College. Wendy & I joined a few other alums for dinner at FAMOUS DELI in Owensboro. We had a starter of fried mozzarella with marinara sauce (it was excellent), then I…
