Madrigal 2002
We saw this year's Madrigal Dinner last night. I had a hard time filling up our table and we ended up with Doug and Luca, Meredith, Michael and Logan, Kathy, Walter and Hannah and Jfer and I. An altogether nice group where everyone had a good time - Hannah was very good at attracting wenches to the table.
While I enjoyed this year's play, I must say that I liked last year's Madrigal better for a couple of reasons. For one, the script was stronger and I felt that both the actors as well as the singers were better prepared. Also, it was after Thanksgiving, so maybe I was more in the holiday spirit of it all. The main reason, though, is probably because last year we saw a weekend performance which makes quite a difference - the audience is more into it and the cast feels much more comfortable. I need to remember to reserve a weekend table early next year - and hopefully we can join an ex-Madrigal table.
As in last year, I felt a bit wistful while watching the singing from the sidelines. I hope I get to do some caroling in December to make up for it.

Do you know if the Madrigal singers are going to do an informal caroling underneath the Zilker Park tree, as they did last year?
I don't know - I'll let you know if/when I find out.
We can go caroling in Houston on Christmas eve if you would like.
I am in for that!
Hey Stepan, I'll keep you in the loop about caroling. I want to go too!
