Ko and I saw the Underground Shakespeare Company’s free performance of Macbeth this evening (their brilliant advertising slogan: “Free Willy!”). The show was excellent, but what I’ll really remember was what happened before the show began. Because of the rainy weather, the performance was held inside, in the rooftop lounge of High Rise East (Harnwell — I’m in High Rise North, Hamilton). We arrived just before 7, and the timing was just perfect to see the sunset. It was amazing. I’m not used to seeing the vast expanse of sky afforded to the inhabitants of the tallest buildings in the area. So naturally, being me, I immediately took out my camera. Results here, here, here, and here (mmm, the lovely effect of shooting through dirty glass).
Also, last night, Ko and I spiffed up the room considerably. I’m still rearranging my walls, but suffice it to say, our room is at least 600% cooler than when we began. Pictures of our Door-O-Liberalness, our ceiling tapestries, our poster hoard, etc. soon to come. I am supremely vexed, as I was highest bidder on a set of 10 “Hero” miniposters for seveal days, and I was outbid this evening with NINE SECONDS TO GO. So the poor blank spot on our poster wall will remain blank a bit longer. (Dad, don’t even think about intervening.) We shall continue to seek out something befitting of the spot!
