July 27, 2007birthdays 2007
kerry butler as kira in xanadu wednesday, july 25th joe throws me a surprise birthday party at the apartment. technically a day early, but the numbers on the cake are a year ahead of the one we're celebrating. i'm old for my age! special thanks to my friend carol for helping joe put together the shindig, from her e-vite technical and emotional support to the cakeman raven red velvet cake recommendation! thursday, july 26th on my actual burfday, joe takes me to see xanadu on broadway. i loved the movie soundtrack growing up, though my sister's olivia newton-john obsession is mostly to blame for that. as joe and i are waiting in line at the helen hayes, my friend sue comes bounding up to us to wish me a happy birthday. oblivious as ever, i assume she has happened upon us by chance and sheepishly explain that this is my birthday present. "so is this," joe says. surprise! (again!) joe also has a ticket for sue! isn't my man the sweetest ever? to my delight, joe has purchased general admission tickets so that we are actually seated on stage with the actors. yes, sue and i can now say we've made our broadway stage debuts. granted, seeing what goes on behind the curtain does take away some of the magic, but i happen to love stagecraft. plus we have the added thrill of the occasional interaction with the cast during the performance. if you see this show — and you should — get the general admissions seats. highly recommended! today, july 27th i'm planning on taking joe to one of my favorite restaurants in brooklyn tonight — can't remember the name of it, haven't been in years, hoping it's still there and that they take reservations. yes, my boyfriend goes through all the trouble to plan and scheme two days in a row, and here i am, the day of, crossing my fingers and hoping it all comes together. i did get him so pretty killer gifts, though. more on those at a later date — don't want to give anything away just yet.
