2008.10.30. The Drowsy Chaperone at The 5th Ave Theatre. A comedy about listening to a silly musical of 1920's. Quite cleverly done. Quick stage sets. No intermission. Just shy of 2 hours. Not many catchy tunes. Still a lot of fun.

Erden Eruç presents his experience of planning and execution of the 312 day trip in sea (from California to Philippine), aided by various gadgets, and practically stayed connected. The new Guinness World Record for the longest time spent at sea for a solo rower. A couple of tips for a long journey in sea are: stay dry and keep out of salt!

2008.10.29. City of Music gathering at the Paramount Theatre. The orchestra level is void of chairs, apart from the back and side, more like a dance hall. Lots of speeches, including Greg Nickels. Some local bands, including Garfield High School, Vince Mira, New Faces. However, the acoustics is very bad. Got a bit bored and deaf. So left early for the preview of Pilchuck's annual glass auction.

2008.10.22. Henry IV at Seattle Shakespeare Company. Both part 1 and 2. Almost no stage set, apart from a couple of simple chairs and a table. 2 intermissions, almost 3.5 hrs long. Some passages are not clearly articulated. Fell asleep.
