A Moist TGIF

[scarlettina]

Had a lovely evening. Went to the one Moisture Festival show I'm going to get to this year, a comedie/variete event at the Georgetown Ballroom in the company of e_bourne, varina8, shelly_rae, and MD. Acts included a couple of comics, a musical comic (or a comical musician--one way or the other, he was very good), an aerial artist, a terrific juggler, a tap dancer, and a bubble master. The cast had a high percentage of Jewish performers leaning heavily on Jewish humor, which I of course appreciated. ("A mitzvah is a good deed. A bar mitzvah is buying a lady a drink.") I laughed a lot. It was just the thing for this evening.

It's the first time in a very long time that I'm grateful that it's Friday. Wow. I'm so ready to fall over. In fact, I think I'll go do that now.

In small-world-theater, Eric is an old friend of mine, from when we used to hang out in Washington Square Park; Soren and I went to his non-Moisture-Festival gig last week, and are having dinner with him tonight.

Small world! Eric's set was great fun.
I laughed, giggled, guffawed, and wiggled the entire evening. Great fun. I'll try to see at least one more performance if I can. Perhaps at one of the other stages. Although Georgetown is easy for parking.

Thanks for organizing this scarletina

No problem, Shelly. If I could see another show, I totally would, but the madness of this spring simply won't allow it. :-(

Oh dear. I screwed up your LJ name in my original post. I'll go fix that now.

OK, that's awesome. Please do tell him he had a big fan in the audience last night. I enjoyed the hell out of his performance.

PS-- The joke I quoted in my post was Eric's.

I had a lovely time, and I think this may be the first time I have genuinely laughed in a long time. Indeed, -this- was a mitzvah. And it had a bar. So I'll let you take it from there... :)

And here I thought a bar mitzvah was when a son made his mother happy by becoming a lawyer. Learn something new every day.
