Thursday Evening Concerts



I hope my readers had a good Feast of the Assumption. After Mass, Rich treated the woman without a name on this blog and me to dinner at Tutto Pasta, sitting outside to enjoy the lovely evening. Travalon was in Oconomowoc visiting his mother; he went to Mass in the morning.

Yesterday Travalon and I went to the Thursday concert on the roof on campus, but due to the intermittent rain it was inside – at least in a lovelier room than the one last month, overlooking the lake. However, unlike last month they did not have chicken nuggets, just some chips and salsa and cheese cubes. Oddest of all, the band that was supposed to be playing 60’s hits was nowhere to be found. We only got there a half hour after the concert was supposed to start, so I couldn’t believe they would already be taking a break. Had they not shown up yet? There were some instruments sitting around, a drum set and a couple of guitars, but no obvious band members. We gave up after fifteen minutes and went to the cottage party at the East Side Club, where everyone was a lot older than we are so they were all talking about attending 50th class reunions. That was well before I was born! After the party, Travalon and I went to the Central Park Sessions, but by then it was raining, and there was some lightning in the distance. There was a band playing sort of South African-sounding music, and everyone was crowded under a big tent listening to them, so we joined the crowd for a bit. However, the lightning was increasing in frequency, so we headed home. Anyway, it was still a fun evening, even if parts of it were a little odd.
