Spent the majority of the day working on homework in order to free up my evening. Tonight’s the night for Dracula at the castle theater and, of course, Halloween parties. I decided to recycle last year’s Halloween costume; I’m going to go as a catholic priest! I received several negative reviews about it last year however I have high hopes this year will be better. I’m avoiding all LDS dances because of bad experiences last year… should have know better and am sticking to local Halloween parties only. Around 7:30pm Zack, my old mission friend, called me asking for tickets and a ride to the show. I felt troubled since tickets had sold out and my car was already full of people but after some planning we were able to work something out. I pat myself on the back with how well I’m able to organize and plan things out. Basically the new plan was to pick Zack and his friends up at his place at around 10pm and drive them up to the theater so they could get in the standby line and wait for tickets and then I would proceed to head back down the hill and pick up the rest of friends. Good disaster struck half and hour before the show started when Lexi called me asking for a ticket and a ride… luckily enough after picking up Kat and Dana we were able to swing by Lexi’s apartment and drive her up to the castle.
Dracula was an amazing performance. The actors knew it was their last show and have it their all. The vocal output and facial expressions were astounding and added a much needed effect to the show. As always David Morgan did a wonderful job and so did his wife. Because it was the venues last show they packed extra people into the tiny little castle room which although made it cramped added out the thematic element that when one person got scared or startled the rest of the line of people would jump with that person. Being next to Lisa Stoffer made for some interesting encounters.
