Dancing Through Life
So we intended to get up early to get in the lottery for the matinee of Wicked this morning. We didn't. After slugging around and having lunch in Palo Alto, we drove up to the city to try to get into the evening lottery.
We had hours to kill, so we shopped aimlessly (Rob bought me a fabulous sweater at Anthropologie because I was tragically underdressed for the cold, cold city), then went up to Zuni for a drinkie.
Man, oh, man, do they make great drinkies. Here's me enjoying my first martini:
And here's an admiring portrait of my second martini (note the luscious ice chips on top, just like I like):
Fortified with martinis (Manhattans in Rob's case) and some delicious anchovies, we drove (because we are lazy Californians) down to the Orpheum and put our names in for the lottery. And LO AND BEHOLD, I won! Woohoo! Here's how excited I was:
So with almost two hours to kill, we decided to go back to Zuni (we walked this time) and have more drinkies. And more food. Oh, the stuffed squash blossoms. Gotta love summer.
Anyway, the show was fabulous. I don't normally like sitting on the main floor of a theatre (I'm a balcony sort of girl), but the front row freaking center (for $25 each) seats totally kicked ass. I was afraid that after four martinis, I'd pass out during the show, but the longish walks to the restaurant and back must have burned off some of the gin, because I was pretty darned perky.
But now it's sleepy time.
