Phan-tastic

I was able to catch a showing of Phantom of the Opera this evening. What a show! I highly recommend it to anybody who gets the chance. The neat thing is that despite being on Broadway for n years, this month was Madison's premiere debut of the show. In our brand new Overture Center for the Performing Arts, it found a good home.

Of course, whenever you make plans for a big night more than a month in advance, Murphy's law has to kick in somehow. Much like my last major musical attendance (Mozart's The Magic Flute in May) my date wasn't feeling well. :( Fortunately, she was well enough to enjoy dinner and the show, even if there was the occasional cough or sniffle.

Now, I get to pay for the night -- graduate students don't get 'free evenings' to go on 'dates.' No, they have to work in 'labs' and do mountains of homework. Oh well -- it was worth it. Relatavistic electrodynamics, here I come!
