Did she say...John Barrowman?

Edit: Apparently I hit something wonky and it posted way before I had intended.

Yesterday was nothing short of wonderful.

I walked around our neighborhood and went over into the Waterloo area where I came upon the Old Vic and the Young Vic. The Old Vic is playing Inherit the Wind with Kevin Spacey and the Young Vic is playing Annie Get Your Gun with people of whom I've never heard. I came upon a bookshop called The Theatre Bookshop and immediately went in and looked around. They didn't have many books but they did have a discount table where I picked up a book, The Malice Box by Martin Langfield, and bought for only 50p. I continued to walk around just taking in the area and saw several cute cafes, restaurants, stores, and pubs. I think I love my area a lot more now.


After that Nekol and I headed over to the Regent Campus' library to see if they had any of the books she would need for school while I tried to figure out how to log onto their computers and how to figure out a computer keyboard. An English keyboard is a bit different than an American keyboard; for instance, their @ sign is attached to their apostrophe key instead of their number two which is something completely different. I had to sit there for a while and try to figure out where it was. I even went so far as to pick up the keyboard to look at it evenly. After a while, I had located the @ key and then had to get used to how spaced apart all the keys are. Odd.

Then Nekol and I went to eat dinner at this Italian restaurant I couldn't tell you the name of even if I tried. It's symbol is the olive and I believe they're a chain but the food was fantastic and our server was wonderful and nice. Honestly, I don't think Nekol and I could have done better with dinner that night. It was pretty much perfect.

After that we headed over to the Playhouse Theatre to go see La Cage Aux Folles. To be honest, we mainly went for John Barrowman playing the part as the Transvestite gay Albin. However, as soon as the show started, we were laughing and thoroughly enjoying ourselves, even when John wasn't onstage. Overall it was one of the most amazing shows I've seen in a while. If you get a chance to see La Cage Aux Folles in New York or wherever, and it is done well, I suggest you go.

Back to John Barrowman though. Nekol and I waited outside the Stage Door with everyone else to get his autograph and pictures of him. A lady in front of us told us not to bet on the french moving out of our way. And they didn't, even after they had gotten signatures...seriously ladies? Move it. Anyways, I was able to hand him my ticket stub and tell him I thought he had performed wonderfully and he sincerely thanked me, telling me it meant a lot to him. He's just as beautiful and sweet in person as he is on t.v. I am a very happy woman.
