I’m ready for you!
This weekend, we went to see Jersey Boys at the Curran Theater in San Francisco. Keith and I went with our friends Terry & Nanette and then met up with more friends in SF for dinner. We all stayed at the Parc55 which is just off Union Square. This is us at the Christmas Tree in Union Square. Keith and I are on the left side. Here’s another pick of the tree with Macy’s in the background.
We ate dinner at Zingari Ristorante located in the Hotel Donatello, also on Union Square. The food was excellent- the waiter was the perfect mix of disdainful rudeness and charm. We had some good laughs over the faces he made at us!
We saw the show Jersey Boys at 2 in the afternoon, which was a great time to see it- no super early or super late dinners because of the evening showtimes. The show itself wasn’t something I was really interested in seeing but once I was there, WOW! It was a great show. The geek in me spent most of the show marvelling at the stage manager’s ability to choreograph the set changes. That would be the fun part of stage productions for me- set design and engineering the transitions between scenes. Amazing job that person did.
On weekends, local artists bring their work to Union Sqare to show and hopefully sell. We happened along a photographer named Zeny Cieslikowski who had such amazing photographs, taken with film and not enhanced in anyway. I fell in love with a photograph of some rowboats in Italy on a foggy morning– he waited til the sun rose and the boats and water seem to glow faintly in a sepia mist. I bought it. Once, many years ago, I fell in love with a photograph by LIFE photographer Carl Mydans and to this day regret not buying it. I still think of that image, “Fog Rolls In” and hope to acquire that someday! Fortunately Zeny’s print was under $100 so it wasn’t a hard decision and I don’t have to live with another regret.
This was a great weekend. Tomorrow I plan on getting into the lab and posting some stamping! Gotta get working on the Christmas gifts now!
