Smuin Christmas Ballet
Last night I attended the Smuin Ballet's Holiday Show with Eric at the Yueba Buena Performing Arts Theater downtown. The first act - as traditional ballet - done to holiday classical standards (excerpts from Messiah, the nutcracker, etc.) - and true to form - their second act was interpretive dance done to modern songs like "Santa Baby", "Blue Christmas" and "Christmas Island" - and was done with incredible sensitivity and sense of humour. I am so glad to live in the same city as this troupe - as it's the first ballet I've really connected to in years. I gave Eric his gifts - since he's heading off to Salt Lake for the holidays. It was a wonderful evening....
Here is a YouTube video of their choreographer, Amy Siewart's work (for those that are dance inclined):

Messiah by Mr. Handel
KDFC will be broadcasting the entire Handel's Messiah performed by the San Francisco Symphony and Symphony Chorus on Tuesday evening at 8pm PST at http://www.kdfc.com. The performance was recorded last year - and is a KDFC exclusive!
Beast! It's whats for dinner!
I had the delightful company of Greg Garcia (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

We had cheesesteaks and snapples and sat around the living like it was a college dorm. It was a lot of fun.
It was great to catch up with him - and do some reminiscing... we also talked about the branding project at KDFC - and how much fun the last year has been professionally. We agreed to do dinner again soon - when nobody has to get up early and we just STOP. (or play xBox with Mark - whichever comes first)
