Last night, Danny and I went to the Cache Regional Theatre production of 'The Scarlet Pimpernel'. Danny has to go to a certain number of these shows for his Art Symposium class (he assured me he wouldn't go if he didn't have to, haha). It was so much fun! The guy who played the Scarlet Pimpernel did a great job and was really funny! We had fairly good seats and really had a good time, even if the kids behind us were kicking my seat the whole time and the adults behind Danny were kicking his seat. It wasn't that bad...just annoying.
Also, a note on play attendance etiquette: Danny and I were both bothered about how many of the people came dressed to this thing. Sure, if it's a high school play, you could wear jeans and flip-flops. But this is a nice theater and it's way more professional than a high school production. So that was a little disappointing. Sorry if I offended anyone out there who doesn't see a problem with wearing jeans, flip-flops, tank tops, short short mini skirts or the like to a play like this. It's just good manners and etiquette and shows respect for the actors and orchestra. Thank you, I'll get off my soap box now.
Just as another exciting event, Danny and I nearly got hit 4 times yesterday, all in about a span of 10 minutes! It was insane, but we didn't ever get hit. Here are our 4 scenarios:
1) We went down to this warehouse place that sells books (you can get a grocery bag full of books for just $7!) and after we were done, we were trying to turn left on the road in front of the Maceys up here. Danny started to go, and then out of nowhere, this car comes flying from our right as we turn left and they turn left so we almost get into a head-on there.
2) Then, Danny turns out and when we get in the lane, we look behind us and there's a car right there behind us! We had just looked and there was a gap and now this car behind us could have hit us.
3)Whew...then we went to Little Caesars for our weekly Friday Night Pizza. As we pull in, the parking lot is pretty full so we start looking for a spot while people are pulling in and pulling out. We go by this truck who's looking to back out and as we're passing him, he starts to back out and we haven't gotten out of his way and he hasn't seen us. So I'm watching this truck almost hit us and I say, 'What the heck? Don't hit us!' and Danny steps on it for a second to get out of the way. We definitely would have been hit if I hadn't been paying attention for our sakes and for the other guy.
4) Then, after we got our pizza, we get in the car and we start backing out. This car comes flying in the parking lot, sees that we are backing out and continues to fly behind us (doesn't even stop at all), even though we are backing out pretty quick, so Danny had to slam on the brakes.
It was a pretty intense 10 minutes. I swear, Logan drivers are so stupid! When I used to walk to work, drivers would almost hit me on daily basis. Luckily, I knew they wouldn't see me so I would have to stop for them, even though I had the right of way. It's pretty ridic.
Well, there was our Friday night! We survived. :)
