The (Parents) Weekend

Saturday (25th) was parent's weekend and i have been talking to my mother about coming here for a day (and possibly staying at Michelle's house). She wasn't sure for a long time and finally couple of days later she decided to venture out and come to BC with my sister. They arrived earlier than expected, around 11am, but since the football game tailgating was in process, no one without a permit was allowed to even enter the parking premises. (i found out later that there were specific places for parents to be parked several blocks away. We ended up parking at Cleveland Circle CVS parking lot.

VT owned BC with final score 19:0. I'm glad i sold my ticket to a friend and I'm excited to ND game next week (as much as i would be excited about a football game) If the tickets will be selling for a lot of money i might sell mine. We'll see.

So Michelle and I and my mother and my sister went to Michelle's house after BC to check it out, the dogs, say hi to Michelle's mom. We agreed to have lunch at some Marina place. Since it was hot yesterday, being closer to water made it so nice to have lunch (except the food took forever and then some). After, we decided to go to Museum of Science, only it was closing 30min after we arrived, so there was no point in buying a ticket so we just looked at free stuff and gift shop. Then we went to Newbury street to check out some stores. Lots of good pictures to follow, when my mom will upload them. The girls seemed like had good times, so the day went quite well.
Mothership and my sister went back home while Michelle and I tried to figure out how to get to our musical venue since 2 of our friends ditched us in concert attendance. (Their loss, it was FANTASTIC)

Before the concert, Michelle and i stopped by a liquor store where we got (among other things) tiny 50mL of Patron just because of how cute they were. Then we went across the street to a pub place called "The Druid". Nice atmosphere, good food and fast service. and it was about 40sec of walking away from Lilypad, the place where we saw Jason Webley.

The performance was great. It was hilarious, refreshing, and everybody was a participant. Great energy and vibe. small venues are just so personal and much more enjoyable when you're sitting 4 feet away from the person performing for you. Perhaps I'll go to his Thursday concert in Worcester MA. I laughed and smiled practically half of the entire show if not more. Great great time spent.
Though the day was long and we were both tired after the concert ended (~11.45pm) we rushed to red line and then grabbed green line (D) to get back to BC. It was a long and fun day.


Sunday i already did my laundry, made a milkshake (banana, blueberries, asian pear, strawberries, milk). In couple of hours i have meeting with my History of Theatre fellows to work on "Atellan Farce", got a presentation coming this Friday. So skipping (most likely) Racquetball night. The weather is kinda yucky and rainy and will get colder and will rain for next 40 hours.... We'll see who's the boss!


Random note: I'm glad i have parking lot window, there is always something interesting happening.
