We were at the Bass Music Hall in Austin with our kiddos, their honeys, and a couple of our Sundays-at-Driftwood-Vineyard buddies, to see Book of Mormon! Sadly, our son's honey had to drop out at the last minute. It seems grad-school has her a bit overwhelmed right now. However, she sent her young cousin, an engineering student at UT, in her place, and he was an absolute delight to have along.
The theater is actually on the UT campus, directly across from the football stadium.
It's a pretty cool place. I especially liked this:
I saw pictures of a woman's art studio in a magazine once. She had filled the walls with a variety of frames which she had drawn with permanent black marker, and was gradually filling them with her own and her children's works of art. I thought it was an awesome idea at the time, but certainly never expected to find something similar in a fancy-schmancy public venue like this. If only I'd had some paints or markers with me!
It's been a couple of years since John and I saw this play in New York, so we'd forgotten many of the great lines.
The rest of our group were B.O.M. virgins, so we got the added joy of seeing their first-timer reactions. I think they liked it!
It was another very good day, and two very good days in a row make for a very, very good weekend!
