Brattleboro Adventure – the Auckland Edition

Reservations not required

With some reservations, I made reservations to see Ghostmaker, a more-produced version of Genna Nethercott’s senior project in theater arts. It was billed as combining poetry, puppetry, music, etc. Perhaps just one too many forms of expression mashed together for my comfort.

Our theatrical experiences have been mixed around here, with the genuinely talented all mingled in with the painfully earnest and even the out-and-out bad.

But Genna and her team pulled it off… the show was entertaining, had some genuinely funny bits, a good plot line, didn’t drone on too long: well worth it, and well done.

In the end, she didn’t fill the house, possibly thanks to the pouring rain, so those reservations weren’t really needed. But i’m very glad to say that my mental reservations weren’t needed either.

A panorama of the very cool plantings on the wall at CDG. We first saw that idea of plants on the wall a couple years ago in the Sky Club at Heathrow… Someday we’ll figure out how to incorporate that idea into the house.

Weather is a funny thing… We went to the south of France to shiver and drip and now we return to VT for 90 and sunny.

Ooh la la

Signs of the times

No, in point of fact, you do not have the priority.
