Raleigh!

Not that i'm going to make a habit of it or anything, but it wouldn't be right if i didn't mention that we had a very enjoyable evening in the capital city last night. OK, the drive in was a little stop and go, but i had flipped a coin and decided that 70 would be more convenient than 40 at 5:30 pm, so it wasn't unanticipated.

We had a solid meal at the Draft House (which really does have "more taps than you can shake a stick at") in Cameron Village, and successfully navigated the 4 blocks over to the Raleigh Little Theater, where we had no trouble parking, and time to enjoy a stroll through the rose garden before curtain.

I'm not going to play theater critic, but the production of Urinetown: The Musical was a lot of fun, in a Kurt Weill/Berthold Brecht kind of way (but with an American, post-modern twist) that, at least for me, is something i don't realize how much i've missed until i get a taste of it again.

Urinetown: The Musical plays Thursday through Sunday till august 26th, if you're interested.
