A Swing and a Miss

I think my DH put it best when he described our most recent theater outting as "a swing and a miss". Since we both like silent films, I thought going to The Golem - a 1922 silent film presented by Music of Remembrance (http://www.musicofremembrance.org/) - would be something we'd both enjoy. However, the film was accompanied by several pieces of music that were oddly flawed. The "score" of the film didn't match the film, and the composer either didn't watch the film she was scoring, or had no experience with silent films. The first piece of music - Before the Ark - was very nice, but the second piece was DREADFUL. My DH walked out, and sequestered himself at the far end of Benaroya, since the wailing of the soprano was audible even outside of the small concert hall. Oh, well. We see so much good theater in Seattle, that we're bound to run into a dud once in a while.

After the concert/film, we headed over to The Wild Ginger for a nosh. It is so expensive there, but we sat at the satay bar and had a couple of the specials and some soup. I had a couple of glasses of an Estancia cabernet - yum! So, the evening wasn't an entire loss.

Next up is Ron White at the Moore -- which we refer to as "fire trap theater", since it is in such bad repair -- and dinner at the Buenos Aires Grill. My expectations are high that we'll have a good theater/dinner experience that night! Time will tell...
