My very favorite actor of all time is Alan Rickman. The delicious voice, the tall, lean body, the fantastic hair, did I mention the velvet voice? He was in a show called "Seminar" this fall, and I got permission from my hubby (it's not an inconsiderable amount of money and time) to go with a friend to NYC and see it. It would have been my first time to see Alan Rickman, and I was really looking forward to it. At the same time hubby was looking for a new job that would keep us in Texas instead of having to move to Arizona. He found a fantastic job, although it was a bit of a mixed blessing....I realized pretty quickly that the time I was planning on flying back east was the same time that he would be switching jobs, and that we would be a bit shorter on cash than usual. So I willingly gave up my plans to go see Seminar.
Fast forward to today. Several friends are seeing Kristin Chenoweth, one of my favorite singers in the big city to our north. In the past few years several of my favorite artists have come through the area, and I've not been able to see any of them, much to my disgust. Ok, lets be honest, I couldn't justify spending that kind of money on myself when we have three kids etc. etc. Well, I took a look at another one of my favorite artists, Idina Menzel, and realized she was going to be in San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas in the next few weeks. Y'all I've given up a lot in the name of my family in the last oh so many years, but I'm tired of never getting to see the people I want to see. So I sweet talked hubby into taking me to San Antonio June 12th to see Idina Menzel in concert there. Shhhhhh, I already bought the tickets...the only possible problem is that I have rehearsal for Camelot that night. I'm hoping the Maestro will forgive my absence, this is too good to miss!
