An Evening in the City

Last night we had the wonderful pleasure of spending the evening at the theater... The Goodman Theater to be exact. We went with Jennifer and her BF Dawn, Tom (Bob's boss) and Tom's fiancee.

We started the evening with a wonderful meal at The Melting Pot. FABULOUS!!! We highly recommend them, but be sure you have enough time. Dinner takes at least 2 hours.

The performance we attended was "Talking Pictures" by Horton Foote. Our friend from the Renaissance Faire - Phil Earl plays Willis and did a WONDERFUL job! In fact, the entire cast was awesome! You could tell they had amazing chemistry together. We highly recommend it. This performance was the first one that the Goodman has ever done "in the round".

Some Ren Faire Fun in Off Season

This past weekend we had the pleasure of attending "The Swordsmen" at the Noble Fool Theater located inside the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, IL.

Dirk & Guido (The Swordsmen) are one of our favorite shows at the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Bristol, WI. We had a wonderful time seeing them during the off season. They say laughter is the best medicine and boy did they dose out the laughter!

We chose the dinner package and so had a wonderful dinner at their buffet in the atrium and then went over to the theater. Jen and Dawn came with us... a fun time was had by all!
