Busy time of year!

Heyyy guys

So a lot has been going on lately, and there’s about to be even more because it’s homecoming starting tomorrow! I’ve been taking a look at the schedule of events and there is soo much going on. I’ll update you later as the events start happening later this week.

But as I mentioned in my last blog, I went to see my friend’s band play Friday night in Lydia’s lounge. What I didn’t know is Friday was actually the opening of this new ‘cafe’ in Lydia’s lounge (the old U-hall cafeteria) that will be open from 8 to midnight on Friday, Saturdays, and Sundays. But anyway, The ‘Dirty Fools Project’ played for about an hour, and it was really really great! They played a cover of the Beatles at one point in the night, which was fantastic. My opinion is that you have to be careful with covering great bands like the Beatles in fear of ruining their awesomeness, but they did a good job! I really like their sound and enjoyed the music a lot, and I went with a bunch of my friends so it was really fun. 

And then I went to the play on Sunday afternoon. It was really funny; I definitely laughed out loud several times. I liked that there was a lot of audience interaction, that’s the great thing about going to a play versus a movie. A few times they let down a big rope that some of the pirates and other cast members climbed onto and swung into the crowd, which was really fun because they came really close to the audience which made it kind of exciting. The stage and the whole auditorium was rather small, but I actually think that was a good thing, because the actors were sooo close. I could see their faces from a few feet away which was really cool to be so close to the actual scene. I got a schedule of all the other plays coming up this semester so I’m excited to see how the others ones are too!

I took a few pictures while I was watching the Dirty Fools Project on Friday night — take a look! The friend I know from the band is the lead singer, Danny. He’s got talent! And then there are some pics from the play too. - Kristin
