Monday night out

I like to listen to NPR. I blame my father, for if you drive with him it's all you will listen to, and I logged a good many hours as a passenger in his car. At the time I didn't love it, but eventually it grew on me, and now, especially since NPR has a very convenient app, I listen to my favorite shows on demand.

Sean and I were listening to Ask Me Another on Sunday and at the beginning of the show they announced that the next live recording would be featuring Dennis Quaid, Christian Cooke, and Cary Elwes! It would be at the Bell House theater in Brooklyn New York, and it would be on November 14th (which was tomorrow, at the time, and I had a mini freak out at the idea of being in the same room as Cary Elwes).

It was a very last minute plan, and normally heading into the city for a late night on a Monday would not thrill me, but we had such a great time at the show, it was hilarious, the space was small and intimate, I laughed and relaxed and forgot about needing to go to work today.

I must also mention that if you are a Princess Bride fan and you are in New York, or at least New York adjacent, Cary Elwes will be at a book signing and a screening of the Princess Bride this week - check out his twitter for the details.

  2. That sounds like such a fun experience and a nice distraction (also, and I know you know I'm going to say this because I'm a sucker for leopard, but how awesome is that clutch?).

  8. That is a great date night outfit! :) I'm actually a little ad your blouse wasn't linked as it's really, really pretty! I guess that's the benefit of consignment store shopping - you get great pieces you're unlikely to see on anyone else!

    Hope you're having an awesome week :)

  10. That show sounds like so much fun! I would love to see all three of those people in a room together, I just finished watching a show on Netflix in which Cary Elwes and he remains one of my favourite actors. I also have to say just how much I love this date night outfit, it's the perfect mix of all black sophistication and colourful fun, and it couldn't suit you any better - it's like you summed up your style in one look and I love it!
