Our Friday Night Date
Oct. 14th, 2006 10:45 amWas a double-date with bernesemntdog & kosmickitten - we went to The Lord of the Rings Symphony at Orchestra Hall, presented by the Minnesota Orchestra, Minnesota Chorale, and Minnesota Boys Choir. We all enjoyed it immensely. I have my doubts about how long-lasting a piece it's going to be - the structure is closely tied to the movie narrative, and it's about two hours of music, so it might feel dis-jointed in the future.

Did dishes, and some spot cleaning - the place was still mostly clean from last weekend.
After lunch, I ran off to the library to meet Lois - we got let into the auditorium, I got pictures of the plaque for her chair, and her sitting in it. I'll get them up tomorrow, I promise!
Then it was off to a friend's house to feed their cats.
After that, I went to Dreamhaven for the release event for The Sharing Knife: Beguilement. Lois read a scene from the next book - and there was much "more!" when she stopped reading (on a cliffhanger!) She had the original oil painting for the two covers with her - it's gorgeous!
After that, it was off to A Taste of India for dinner with Lois,pmrabble, gryphons_lair, Kathy M., and Kathy's friend (who's name I have just realized I missed). After dinner, all of us except Lois came to my house for dessert - chocolate fondue. It was much appreciated! After an hour and a half or so of conversation, we broke up.
iraunink came down and had a little fondue, and then went back upstairs.
All in all, a nice day. Pityiraunink is having a dead-due-to-migraine day.
