Enjoyed a nice dinner of tuna tartare and sole tacos with my mom at Cultivar tonight, yum! Somehow that expanded to take up all the available time, so then we had to hustle across town…. Whoop whoop whoop, and then dropped into a parking spot two blocks from the theatre. No searching, perfect! Strolled on over to find that the house has just opened, so then rushed on up front to grab a pair of seats in the center of the second row. Yay!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
