So we have made quite the culture circuit this week! Our weekend started with a concert at Gammage Auditorium on the ASU campus... Travis' work buddy Ed is in the choral ensemble, and they were performing with the orchestra in a concert about Life and Death. A little Shostakovich No. 2, Les Preludes by Liszt, and finally a Requiem by Fauré. Great performances - and free! Afterwards we found Four Peaks for reverse happy hour, and hung out with the work crowd for a while. Ed even brought a girl he met in choir. We were all so proud.
Tonight we went to an art showing for Jeff Lyon, a mechanical engineer that works with Travis. His art is really cool - he originally started with really concrete, almost photo-like paintings, but now he's branching out into more abstract drawings and prints - which are posted in this blog. I thought this would be at a gallery, but no, it's a loft of one of Jeff's clients. Whoa. I didn't feel like I was in a house - I felt like I was in an Ikea catalog or something. Everything was very minimalist and modern, complete with old episodes of Flash Gordon on the Flat Screen TV hung on the wall.
The food was awesome (half a globe grape with goat cheese and chopped pistachios!) - the wine was good, and all the beautiful people were there. I felt very special.
So now I am just basking in the culture, feeling very sophisticated. Almost makes me forget that I had to replace the gasket on my toilet today. Oh well- I'm off to the hot tub!
Hope everyone else is having a fabulous weekend!
Jenny
