So the show didn't start until 8pm, so Sarah picked me up and we left my house around 5:30pm to head downtown to meet Kevin for dinner beforehand! Well I don't know if traffic is usually that bad, but it was TERRIBLE last night! I had reservations for us at a wine bar for 6:15 downtown, but it was about 6:05 and we were only to like 45th or 35th Street inching along! So we called Kevin and said we should probably eat somewhere closer to campus (which is where the show was) so we could make the show on time. He agreed, so Sarah and I exited the highway and made our way across campus to where we had decided to eat now! Once we got to the new place, there was like NO parking, so I ran in to see how long of a wait they had and they said about 15 minutes and at this point it was already 6:25pm! So we decided to try this pizza place across the street that wasn't as crowded!! So mind you we got to the pizza place around 6:30pm! Got a table right away and waited about 10 minutes before the server finally came over and took our entire order! We were in a hurry and the service ended up being SLOW! We needed to leave there by about 7:30pm so we'd have time to find parking at the theatre and such!
By 7:10 our appetizers had finally come out, we were starting to get impatient with how long everything was taking. At 7:15 the waiter came by and said our pizzas were accidentally given to another table and that it would be another 10 minutes before ours were done. UGH!!! We got one of our pizzas out around 7:25 and scarfed it down. The other we got to go and ate in the car! Thankfully the place felt terrible and we got our food for FREE! So that was nice!
We then headed to the theatre and were waiting in line to park in the garage and some lady walked up to our window and said she had a free parking pass we could have! WOW! So nice! So our crazy night leading up to the show ended up nicely where we didn't have to pay for ANYTHING!
South Pacific was really good! Kevin was skeptical about musicals because the only one he had every been to was RENT and needless to say it wasn't his cup of tea. I also made him go with me to an opera once, and he didn't' really enjoy that either! But I thought he'd like South Pacific and he said he did. Although he said the French guys accent was too thick so he couldn't understand anything he was saying and didn't really get what was going on. Oh my! Baby steps with Kevin on being cultured into the Arts! ;)
