"What happens in Emerald City, stays in Emerald City okay?"

Friday: shul, grab takeout from Mary's, then over to the Edgerton TV lounge to watch The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. Not that brilliant, as Muppet productions go, but I enjoyed it. But then the minute it was over, while everyone else hung around playing ping-pong and air hockey, I fell sound asleep right in front of the giant television -- for a solid hour and a half, during which time Tiger Boy (who had, after all, reserved the lounge for the evening) chased away a couple of people who came in hoping to use the TV. What a love. :-) And ablock very sweetly dropped us off at my place thereafter.

Saturday: shul. Impromptu shopping run to Salem, NH, where ablock got a new iBook, I got Green Pants of Doom (on sale), and ablock got a Beanbag of Doom, at which time we thought it prudent to flee before the consumption of doom got any worse. :-) Dinner with my homeboys (ablock and kalessin) at El Guapo, which is definitely worth patronizing. Then off to the most righteous and excellent Stackwarming chez mangosteen and bookteacher.

Sunday I slept until nearly 10, puttered around the house; bought a whole lot of kosher meat for the Lag B'Omer BBQ (see below); made a batch of special-order buttons for the Other Other Erica -- whom I finally met at contra dancing last week, but that's another story. Watched all my back episodes of ER and Numb3rs, took a nap; proceeded to have a minor emotional freakout which persisted through Menschen rehearsal, but was later assuaged with the help of a couple of people's love and patience, for which I am grateful.

Anyone who wants:

a free 3-month trial subscription to the Jewish Advocate, e-mail me your complete snail-mail address, preferably today.

to come to tremontstshul's Lag B'Omer BBQ this Thursday night [and isn't going to be lining up for Serenity starting at 8pm!], e-mail me your RSVP, preferably by tomorrow.

to come to Israel with us August 14-24, e-mail me your information, preferably ASAP so you can get the itinerary and airfare info when we update it this week.

to hear Dr. mangosteen (and ladypsyche, and me) sing a cappella, mark your calendars for Honorable Menschen's spring concert: Sunday, June 12 at 1pm!

Finally, speaking of kick-ass vocal performances, Sean Altman (formerly of Rockapella) is doing a Live Internet Broadcast solo concert today at 3pm: http://www.evolvingartist.com/

And now, to put some lunch in my lunch hour.

Dear me, those are some green pants.

Actually, mine are the rather less terrifying shade of what appears to be called Key Lime:
But I couldn't figure out whether they had an actual picture of those!

Grmph!

We'll be out of town on the 12th.

Perhaps next time.

AH I wish I could afford to go to Israel. It's just not in the budget even though I"m not in school at that time. Ah well.

What if I want to see Serenity? :-)

(is this lining up to get last minute tickets or decent seats?)
(and yes, I am being way lazy.)

[lifecollage.livejournal.com]

This would be lining up for seats. Tix sold out within an hour or so of going on sale.

Mmmyeah, what she said. :-) So, see you at the BBQ!

No chance you recorded the stream? I've been a fan of his since the early days, and I've seen him at Club Passim and Foxrun, and he puts on a _fantastic_ show. Have his CDs for anyone reading this that would like to hear them.

Sadly, no. :-/ In fact, I didn't even get a chance to tune in (being at work and all, and no headphones), so I can't even tell you how great it was...
