Day 3 and Margaret Cho
Yesterday was day 3 and I hope I didnt push the boundries a little. I gave some feedback as to what I was experiencing with the training so far. They've been asking for it so I finally mentioned some things that didnt seem to be working. I havent gotten a response back really but explained that certain things worked for me and why, while other things didnt. They seemed to understand.
As for everything else about the job, it seems to be going well now. Guess I just had to give it a chance. It seemed a bit more high tense when I started and now I am looking around and seeing the people. The regular people.
Last night was Margaret Cho. We started off with dinner at The Sausage Factory which seemed to take forever and a day since there was a huge party going on. They sat us in the back room (which none of us knew exhisted) right next to the long table of about 20 people.
Food was finally brought to our table around 8:45 and we had gotten there around 7:45. Thats quite a wait. Food was good, as it usually is at The Sausage Factory but being the wait was so long, there wasnt much time left to get to the theater. Finally we arrived around 10pm and had a short wait to get in and for the show to begin.
So can I just say, I didnt stop laughing. It was absolutely fantastic. The show was a bit more political than Ive noticed in the past, but mix it in with gay humor, and her mom and you have a success. I mean she didnt let up on the Bush administration or the republican party. One of the best lines was about Arnolds statement "we need to block the borders and keep the foreigners out". I cant wait for the DVD to come out even if it was being filmed somewhere else.
It was my first real "getting out" experience here in SF and it felt good. It was down at Davies Symphony Hall which there was some reference to in the beginning of the show (for those of you who dont know, she grew up in my area).
Davies Hall was big on the outside but seemed so small on the inside. The lights were brighter than usual with several square light fixtures hanging from the ceiling. It had more of a modern look to it and seemed snooty, yet comfortable all at the same time.
Needless to say, the concert didnt get over with until 12:30 and it was on our way home right after. Calvin & Dave (Steve former roommates) had to drive back to Sacramento and Josh needed to head to Santa Cruz early in the morning.
