Madame Butterfly


6/16/04

My adventures in New York today have included seeing some Opera. Central Park has these great free concerts for different things all the time - Rock Stars, Plays, Operas, Symphonies. The great lawn is sprawled with tons and tons of people on blankets. Lots of picnic baskets, wine, dogs, and food. Almost like a giant barbeque but definitely New York style. It reminded me of the much smaller version of the concerts at Red Butte Garden that Corie (my beautiful, sweet, kind friend from L.A.) and I used to go to in Salt Lake City.

Christine who is my dearest friend in New York and I went and bought those nylon folding chairs, got a bottle of wine and a picnic basket with some food and parked ourselves on the Great Lawn. The wine was good, the weather was mild and we just had a damn good time.
