On good music and distracting restaurants.

[cerulean_sky]

I went to see Loreena McKennitt at Borders last night! I was joined by: lskull86, huntress999, lux_alexander, and the ever lovely inamirata.

The music was fantastic. She played Penelope's Song, Stolen Child, Raglan Road, and then Bonny Portmore as an encore when we fans wouldn't let her stop so soon. I got the CD/DVD set that was being promoted (Nights from the Alhambra), and she signed that as well as my copy of An Ancient Muse.

Then we all had dinner at The Jekyll and Hyde Club which is really kitchy and–for all those ADD people out there–not a place you want to go to eat. You will never find the time to eat because there are too many things happening around you all the time. It made my life hard. *whines and makes puppy dog eyes* Anyway, moving on. Their food was perfectly good (though there was corn in the quesadilla... wtf?) and their desserts were absolutely lovely. We were joined by fielfuego at dessert, and then we all (minus huntress999 who had work in the morning and lskull86 who joined us after taking huntress999 home) trouped back to our apartment, and we hung out until the wee hours of the morning.

Thaaaaaat's about the size of it all.

Mira is off with Luke at the moment. I think. And I am a bit worried as I haven't heard back from my mother in regards to the dinner she and I are supposed to be meeting up for tonight. It's 5pm already (by the time I finish typing out this post) and both of us are going to need travel time. Hmmmm.

I am still sick, btw. Mira seems to have recovered though.

ETA: I woke up this morning (by which I mean 1:30pm) to find my house empty, with a note from my roommate telling me where she had gone. Apparently, when she tried to wake me up earlier–and she tried four times–I was either entirely unresponsive, or I threatened to hurt her. I... don't remember any of this! Apparently, I talk in my sleep sometimes! Who knew!

Loreena McKennitt! ::dead from envy::

Just curious, have you listened to the musical for Jekyll and Hyde?

Aww, hope you feel better soon.

She was awesome!! And very nice when she signed my things. My friend actually ended up talking to her for a bit. I didn't, because I couldn't think of anything to say other than, "That was an amazing performance," to say to her. It was only afterwards that I thought of something. *facepalm* Oh well, I'll just have to see her again at some point!

And no, have not heard the musical. And thank you! I hope I will be back to breathing easily soon.

Would you like to hear the musical? I was going to just give it to one person on my f-list, but since you haven't heard it either, I could just upload and post it on LJ.

I haven't actually heard any of Loreena's new songs yet, so I'll have to run out and buy her CD.

So glad you had a good time! *happy dances* She was so lovely, despite my stammering!
