Go Sox!

People aren't really working much today. They're just talking about last night's game. I guess it's the first time in 46 years that the White Sox made it to the World Series. The city of Chicago is going nuts.

The play on Thursday night was great. The theater is similar to the Globe theater where Shakespeare's plays were originally performed. The play was set in modern times. The costumes were all great. The set was very simple. No backdrop or anything. Mostly just chairs for props. The lights came up on the audience during the courtroom scene to make everyone part of the play. I didn't get any good shots... check out Nate and Lisa's photos for a better idea (link in the sidebar). I got a picture of them though! There is only one row of seats in each of the balcony levels.... no tall people to block your view.



The weekend was pretty uneventful... Took it easy, played some board games and card games and even some basketball. I'm no good at basketball, but it's still fun. After church on Sunday I went to this big crazy warehouse building where a bunch of artists have their studios. It was really cool. They have an open-studio day annually where you can wander around into their studio/galleries, check out there stuff, and grab some cookies, cheese, and wine. Lots of awesome sculptures, paintings, and photographs. Actually, I didn't even know they had that event or that there were even other artists in the building - I was just going because the incurable theater had announced that they would be showing the stuff that they're working on for the upcoming puppet show The Nutcracker and the King of Mice. Cynthia Von Orthal, who I've mentioned in a previous post, is directing the show. I'm really looking forward to seeing it.

I guess I get to go to a 2 hour meeting this afternoon. I haven't really been to any meetings other that the weekly monday status meetings since i started here. I'm kinda looking forward to it, believe it or not... I have very little interaction with other people at my job. I just come in, sit at the computer, work, and then leave... most communication is over email... even to someone sitting 3 feet away.
