Tuesday night was a busy night for me. After work, I met up with Curtis and we bought supper which we carried down to Hawrelak Park where we were going to see Love's Labour's Lost. Its part of the Rivercity Shakespeare "Shakespeare in the Park" festival that they put on every year in our fair city.
We ate supper and then played frisbee for 45 mintues or so. Then we got in line because it was pay-what-you-will night and lots of people come out for that since it is cheaper than the normal nights.
The show itself was really well done. The script is not word for word from Shakespeare - they tend to put some more modern stuff in there to help people understand it better. The weather was crazy though. About half an hour before the show started, it started rain on us. The organizers took pity on us and let us in under the tent earlier than they normally do, and we grabbed seats. A couple minutes later it started to POUR! I had to go back to the entrance to go meet Diane and give her the ticket I bought for her - luckily Curtis' fiance brought an umbrella and I was able to steal it to go meet my sweetheart :)
The weather brought some interesting sound effects. There was a couple of particularly well timed bits of thunder when one of the characters was talking about power and what he was going to do next. The whole audience laughed a lot during that. The play was really well done, and since most of the audience was under the big Hawrelak tent, we stayed dry to enjoy the show. Good times!
The next couple weeks look nice and busy. On Saturday, PSO is holding a freeroll for reaching 10,000 members in their forum. The first place prize is a trip to Atlantic city and a $10,000 buyin to one of the biggest tournaments of the year next to the WSOP. Isn't that crazy? Wish me luck! I wouldn't mind going to Atlantic city for a big poker tournament!
Next week, Diane and I leave for Vancouver to go see Ryan and Jazz get married. We're making it our summer holiday ... a chance to spend a few days together on the road, go visit some of her family in Kamloops and otherwise enjoy the mountains for a few days! I'm so excited!
