The weather has finally started to feel like fall, WAHOOOOOOO!! It was a hot, DRY, DRY summer!
The Red Butte Concert season came to a close on the 17th with Billy Idol, but before him, Trombone Shorty (if you know nothing about him, google him immediately!!!) and O.A.R with Matt Nathanson (my new musical crush, he's adorable on stage and I love his music). I'm always conflicted about the end of the season, I am happy for the crazy busy part to be over but at the same time, I always miss the music!
A migraine update, I got botox and a new medication for when one hits, and I have not had one since the changes!!!! It feels like a minor miracle after all of the ones I had in a row. I was slightly disappointed and teased my doctor that my botox would make me look younger, but the dosage and locations of my migraine botox does nothing for the cosmetic side. ;)
I also had an eye exam and am officially blind as a bat and without the sonar capabilities. I am getting used to my new prescription. Let's just say, if they ever change that big E on the eye chart, I am in big trouble. The good news, my vision is completely fixable with glasses or contacts to the point of 20/15.
If you went to Pioneer Memorial Theatre during the run of 'Oslo', you will know why I am about to rave about this play, and if you didn't, or don't live in the area, if you see it being performed in your area, GO!!!!!!! Do not be discourage by its running length-almost 3 hours-the time flies and the subject matter is engrossing. I don't want to give too much away but 'Oslo' is a Tony winning drama play and based on a real life event......
The Broadway Across America, SLC schedule, kicked in on the 30th for me with 'Waitress'. There was a musical number that may of been one of the funniest scenes I have ever witnessed on stage. I was crying I was laughing so hard. People ask me all the time why I put the money into my season tickets and this show summed it up completely, I would of seen it advertised and maybe purchased tickets, but probably would of forgotten and I would of ended up missing it. My season tickets get me to shows that I would probably miss and some that I would of never purchased tickets for, and do you want to hear something really interesting, some of my favorite shows are the ones that I would of never gotten tickets for without my season tickets.....
Bacall is massively cheering the cooler temps! She still goes on walks, very, very slow walks, but walks nonetheless. She is such a happy soul..... Meeko has been in a very sociable mood lately, so if you stop by, you might actually see her....
The UofU football team is going to give me an ulcer this year. The game against Washington State about drove me over the edge.... I'm still a fan, I will always be a fan, but good grief.
I hope September was a good month for you!
