10-30-22 Misery
I got dressed up and headed to the Guedes house to meet everyone and go to the Downtown Halloween Walk. It was fun to see all the amazing costumes on young and old alike. The kids seemed to have a good time and the weather was perfect. Gene put on his Uncle Travis’s fire gear from when he was on the Salt Spring Fire team. It was something to see him fit them, RIP Trav. I hung out for a bit chatting with R-A before coming home to get ready for my nail appointment I was lucky to get today at 5.
Had a great visit with Minh as usual and he did a lovely job on my nails.
The evening culminated with my going to see Misery on its closing night at The Studio/Stage Door. It was entertaining, not quite the psychological thriller it could have been but the acting was very good and the set was well planned for the small stage. Some things were annoying, including the fact that the bartender didn’t open drinks as she should have so the audience made noise opening them during the show. Also, there were audience members who had clearly not been at live theatre before and got up several times during the first act. Over all it was a very good show though, a solid CCT production. I just don’t think the tension was there that I would have like to have seen. And the feet, oh, the feet, lol. The audience laughed rather than was freaked out by the hobbling as they were very dark coloured and rubbery. The shooting went well though.
It was weird not to stay for the party but I really was only peripheral, working concession, so didn’t think I should stay. Came home to a cozy up cat and a comfy couch.
