judecorpI went on a date tonight! (Well, a pseudo-date, because I'm still faithful to my one boy love ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
whod81.) My local buddy folkyboy inherited two free tickets to the Boston Gay Men's Chorus performance of music by Elton John and Freddie Mercury. It was so fantastic and wonderful, even if we were in the very last row of the balcony and it was so steep that we were afraid to stand up! The BGMC is outstanding and the energy was so great, especially because it's Pride weekend and all of that. THANKS, FOLKY!
Side note forcalledmara and prettyvacantone: I wanted you both to know that it is not just the Columbus Women's Chorus who inserts the element of Cheese into informal chorus concerts. There were /several/ dancing numbers tonight, including costume changes, /and/ there was clapping and drumming. (Although I doubt they did "women's rituals" during practice, and I wonder if they give each other back rubs.)
Anyway, it was really awesome. They performed "Hakuna Matata" and "The Circle of Life" from The Lion King, which kind of surprised me (though it shouldn't have, because HELLO, it's a musical!), and some songs from Aida, and lots of good 70s pop. There was even a little parade of different Elton costumes that was fabulous. The only thing that wasn't fabulous was the group of tipsy people in front of me that were obnoxious. Aah well - if I was more of my father's daughter I would have bopped them on the head with my program!
And Folky and I gabbed and gabbed about musicals and folk music and were also very catty toward other people in the audience and on the street. It's so hysterical talking to him about music (err, folk music of course) because he knows absolutely everything and owns every single CD. It is so crazy! He's always like, "Well do you know [blahblah] by [blah]? It is on [blah] CD and I own it and I love it and I have the t-shirt!" It is TEH AWESOME.
I need to start volunteering somewhere so I can feel like a part of the community again. I also need to work harder on locating lots of free stuff, because there is definitely free stuff to be found all of the time. Must take advantage! Also, I think I want to spend some time getting in touch with my girly side. It's kind of fun, actually, to have, you know, boobs. Sometimes. (Though I still have no clue what I should wear to mysmurfbrother's wedding thinger. Suggestions?)
