Wow. Things got out of control and I didn't get to post about the Cultural Convergence part of the last post.

Since seeing TSO Thursday, Dec. 17, I also went to see "Bug Bunny on Broadway" by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra on Friday. I went with fellow critics Tom Aldridge, classical music reviewer, and "What's Opera, Doc?"

After the ISO, that weekend I also hit the Indiana Repertory Theatre's "Old Wicked Songs" and Theatre on the Square's "Worzel Gummidge." (You don't want the link to that one, trust me.)

Then, I started my week off properly on Monday by going to a pre-screening of "Rent." Ah, sometimes, it is very good to be the press.

My long T-day weekend wasn't a vacation, as I hit the IRT's "A Christmas Carol" and Beef & Boards' "A Beef & Boards Christmas" (see Nov. 30 issue) Friday and Saturday.

Now, remember, gentle readers, that reviewing theater for me is an additional part-time gig. I also put in my 40 hours of copy editing and being the Calendar editor in the office. Now do you understand why I generally don't pick up my phone?

On a personal note, Mary Lee Pappas, also a good friend of mine, and I were comparing weekend disaster stories. She almost won with the dead fridge that was rendered incapacitated by cat hair, but I won with half of my guttering and eaves falling off the back of my house. Also on the credit card over the weekend: a $600 clutch and a new TV, because my old TV died a long and dark death.
