Date Scheduled with the Wife!
I just signed a letter of intent with a company to help distribute my product, and I'm going to receive some cash up front! I'll hold off on any details until we do the official press release, but this is cause for celebration, so I scheduled a date with Pearlin to celebrate!
In mid August, we're going to eat at the Dining Room at the Ritz Carlton. We're fans of Ron Siegel (former Iron Chef winner), and we've previously eaten a 10 course meal when he was the chef at Masa's. Now that he's at the Ritz, we're going there instead. Imagine world class French Cuisine with some Japanese accents... Mmmmmmm....... After we eat, we're going to see an evening performance of A Chorus Line.
A Chorus Line is special to me for unusal reasons. Back at MIT, I took a class called Musical Theater Workshop, taught by Tommy DeFrantz. Pearlin also took this class, but we didn't take the class together. Tommy was once the dance captain for A Chorus Line, which is really saying something considering the fact that A Chorus Line is a show about dancers at an audition, which means everybody in the cast is a skilled dancer. There is a famous dance within A Chorus Line where everybody wears a hat and they sing a song called "One". Tommy taught all of us how to do that dance and we performed it in front of a small audience at the end of the semester. Coincidentally, A Chorus Line was playing in Boston the year I took the class, so we all went together to watch it. The hat dance they did on stage was identical to the one taught to us, so it was extra cool when we watched that part of the show. In addition to that, A Chorus Line really impressed me. Not only could everybody dance well, they had incredible singing talent. I had already seen Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon, and Les Miserables at the time, so I was genuinely surprised when my enjoyment of A Chorus Line was on par with my experiences with those other hit shows. Pearlin has yet to see A Chorus Line, so I know she's in for a big treat.
The Curran Theatre is only half a mile away from the Ritz, so it's really convenient, and validated valet parking at the Ritz will only cost us $15!
