Whirlwind weekend #1 down, #2 coming up

Wow, nothing like four days of travel to knock me right off the LJ wagon. (Work conference in DC the end of last week, then a whirlwind Boston trip where I never got farther than 100yds north of South Station.)

So, yeah... but happily I'll be in Boston again this coming weekend with possibly more chance to see folks. Current plan looks like this:

FRI

Arrive Boston ~8:15pm (shabbat shalom!)

Possible quick swing through dinner chez ablock

10pm: Pirates of Penzance (Club Oberon). General admission, so if you want to join me, feel free to order a ticket ($20), and let me know so we can meet up. -- Oh, I meant to point out that the troupe performing it (The Hypocrites) is a company from Chicago who did the production of Cabaret a couple years ago that my little cousin was in (as the Littlest Nazi). Small theater world!

SAT

~10am (ha, ha): services at tremontstshul
(I was briefly thinking of an outing to Picco before the matinee, but I'm actually planning to make it to shul and see my dear ones there, so maybe next time.)

2pm: Hotel Nepenthe (Calderwood Pavilion, BCA). General admission, so if you want to join me, feel free to order a ticket ($20), and let me know so we can meet up.

6:30pm: birthday festivities, Cambridge

~10:30pm meet up with justom and the denizens of La Mancha?

SUN

brunch plans, anyone?

1pm: theatreatfirst scriptreading

6:30pm: return BoltBus Megabus

In more personal theater news, I am auditioning tonight for the Blue Hill Troupe's fall musical, Grand Hotel. Not sure there's a solo role in there for me, but it sounds like they're going to do a fairly significant ensemble and therefore it's likely I will get to be in it somehow. Yay!

Oh, and also a BHT contingent (including me) is performing a FREE half-hour set of lesser-known G&S favorites this Thursday evening as part of the 2012 Make Music New York festival. We'll be at the Seward Park Library (Lower East Side) between 6:15 and 7:45pm. NYCers, come on down!
