scarlettinaMy flist is full of Locus Awards and Doctor Who. I can't write about the first at all except to say that I hope everyone had a good time, and I'm sorry to have missed the many friends who were in town. I can write about the second in a limited fashion, but that's for another post.
Yesterday, however, was the last full, intensive chorus day for this season but one.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ironymaiden, joyful_storm and I headed out of Seattle at about 12:30 and tore down I-5 to a little house on a lake for an afternoon's potluck with the chorus, then into Olympia proper for our show at the Capital Playhouse.
Gotta say, this was the best show of the season. It was our cleanest, sharpest performance. Everyone sounded wonderful. We had an almost full house (a relief for me after all the anxiety attendant around ads that were paid for and weren't printed, and a concert in a city I barely know). The acoustics in the place are perfect for this sort of performance, but then we so rarely get to perform in a proper theater that it felt like a little dream come true. The lighting was excellent. We had great energy. It was all I could have asked for.
We went to McMennamin's for the after-party and, what with the drive and the dropping off of my passengers, I didn't walk into the house until about 2:30 AM. Fell into bed and slept like the dead.
The chorus has one last appearance: we're singing the national anthem at the Seattle Storm game this coming Wednesday evening. It'll be a nice capper to the season. And then? Then I get my Tuesday nights back for a while. I'm really looking forward to that. I loves me my chorus and I loves me the singing, but I do need a break.
