beowabbitHad a great evening. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cathijosephine was organizing a trip to see The Nutcracker, and dinner at Jacob Wirth beforehand. I wasn’t feeling like I could afford the ballet, but I joined the group for dinner, which was yummy. (I had the sauerbraten. I definitely want to go back and try some of the other yummy-looking things on the menu sometime.) But it turned out that one person who’d gotten a ticket wasn’t able to go to the ballet, so I ended up joining cathijosephine, A., and J. for that. It was the first time I’d seen The Nutcracker — or any ballet, for that matter — and I had a great time. As I said afterwards, it was interesting to hear all this music that I’m very familiar with in the context it was written for. I’d love to see a more traditional ballet sometime. (I mentioned that it was even less representational and plot-driven than I was expecting; cathijosephine said that most ballets are more so, but you can get away with a lot when most of the ballet is a dream sequence. :-)
Anyway, wonderful evening with wonderful company. And now to bed.

Date: 2004-12-05 13:04 (UTC)one of the things i'm looking forward to about going home to NYC will be the fact that there's an abundance of dance, as well as the ability to be able to afford it due to my extremely nice living situation.
