When Karen offered me front row tickets for Walt Disney Hall I had no idea who I was going with or who was watching my kids, but I said yes! I ended up taking Kalli. Neither one of us have ever seen a show there, so it was a real treat. When we got to our seats, they were amazing. We were practically on stage. The show was part of the Aspects of Ades festival, with the amazing Thomas Ades conducting the L.A. Philharmonic. Unfortunately, the L.A. Phil that night were backing up opera singers, who stood at the front of the stage singing their way through this snoozer of the Victorian era comedy of manners and propriety -- The Importance of Being Earnest. They prattled on and on (operatically!) about names, and courtships, and muffins. Yes, muffins. There was a five-minute back and forth exchange about this man's preference for muffins, which when sung in opera is sorta ridiculous. So at intermission Kalli and I had a good laugh, and we decided to give up our unbelievably amazing seats at Disney hall to go get a taco and marg at Lares. Having free front-row tickets is incredible. Having a girlfriend who shares a look with you and you both know you're going to sneak out at intermission -- priceless!
