Week in Review

The last week has been a whirlwind of activity; I have seen plays, been to parties, and survived the middle of a chicken fight at a concert.  

There were the high cultured bits of my week:  Dog Sees God and Cabaret.  Both were good in their own right; Cabaret was not a showstopper, but the MC was outstanding.  It made me miss seeing musicals, and the pizazz and suspension of reality that occurs in musical theatre.  As a non-participant, there is something magical about song and dance and stories, intertwining as one.  

There were the parties:  Electro, a massive outdoor rave, has made it onto the top five favorite dance parties of my year.  At first it was awkward, with more people fiddling with glowsticks than actually dancing, though this might have been more due to the DJ's inconsistency than anything else.  Dances at Yale tend to fall into a few different types:  there are drinking parties, sketch parties (Freshman screw was a gropefest), and then all-out dance parties; Electro was the latter.  I hope it becomes a yearly tradition, because it was just as good as other standbys like the Safety Dance.  

In addition, it is beautiful out.
