A Vibrant Social Calendar

Tonight we're heading to London to see Fuerza Bruta. C and R (the people we spent New Year's with) called us a couple of weeks ago and invited us to go with them to see this show. We're going to meet up at Regents Park for an afternoon picnic and then head over to Chalk Farm for the show. The weather is absolutely gorgeous today, should be a nice day and a fitting farewell to London. Not that we'll never go back there again, it'll just be a rare occurrence to head to the Big Smoke now that neither of us have a season ticket.

The picnic was fantastic. We brought a loaf of sundried tomato bread, homemade veggie wraps, marinated olives, basil and black olive bread twists, San Pellegrino sparkling water, "vintage" English cider, sea salt and pepper potato chips, and some mixed nuts. They brought various cured meats, a couple of cheeses, tomatoes and basil, a small carrot cake, mixed berries with mint leaves, sparkling wine, and a small bottle of muscat. We spread ourselves out on a big blanket underneath a laurel tree in Regent's Park and stayed there for about 3 hours.

Then we headed up to Chalk Farm (a suburb of London) to see Fuerza Bruta. Really cool show. Very unique. Very filmic and kinetic. We're still trying to decide what it meant. We came to the conclusion that parts of it symbolize the fast pace of modern life and that you have to break out of the drudgery to just enjoy yourself from time to time. And I think there's an allusion to our video game culture in
there somewhere (having three lives so you can try the game over again
if you die).

It was a perfect day in London. Just what I needed to help me forget about the old job and get ready for the new one!
