Tuna night

Yesterday evening after work I went to Ticketplace and got tickets for the shows I mentioned yesterday. My favorite ticket lady was there. She commented on how Pacific Overtures is a beautiful production, and I told her I can always count on her to have already seen the shows I am interested in. “I try,” she said.

I headed to the Kennedy Center, where I was to meet Thom for the lowbrow, two-man, multi-character play Red, White and Tuna. I haven’t been to the Center in a while, and it’s neat to see the renovation of the front plaza all done. We met up at the café on the second floor, where we often like to eat dinner before seeing a performance. (I usually have a salad with salmon; Thom recommends the calzones, which I will definitely try next time.) Red, White and Tuna was a fun time. Yee haw. Although, I think we didn’t find it quite as hilarious as A Tuna Christmas, which we saw last year.

By the way, at Thom’s suggestion, I will start adding our cultural outings to my del.icio.us media log, so they will show up in my blog in the sidebar, along with the movies and books under “Recently seen or read.” Accordingly they will also appear as individual items in my integrated news feed, but hopefully you won’t find that too unwieldy. Or I may rejigger it entirely. Who knows.
