Weekend ramblings, poetry readings and the opera

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine was busy but relaxing. I had coffee while watching a a poetry reading (the very cool Cristina who brought me the Frank Lloyd Wright mug from an earlier post did a fantastic job). I also watched a few acoustic players sing their own material. Saturday night I was out late gambling and I'm suffering for it today. It was fun though.

Speaking of poetry readings, it's not something you see too often other than in New York City. I love when poetry readings are accompanied by musicians- add a jazz trio to a poet and you have a great combination. Pittsburgh needs someone to put together an act and get it out there- beatniks and bohemians would come out of the woodwork to attend. Count me in.

Now that I'm on the topic of Pittsburgh's cultural district, La Boheme (opera) is showing here at the end of the month. For my dear friends who haven't attended the opera, this is the one! Take my advice and go. Even if you've never listened to opera, do yourself a favor. Get tickets, walk in with a clear mind and you will walk out of there saying "wow, that was amazing".

That's about it for now, simple minded ramblings are all I have to offer you this evening. I appreciate all the wonderful comments and your participation in the blog. I do like to sit back and read what you are all thinking about. It's your blog too, I am just providing the web address, so keep it coming. And all of you stalkers who are just reading, it's time for you to join in too. You know you want to!

Have a great day. Good luck suffering through Monday morning. Talk to you soon!

Ciao.

p.s. I have a few new artworks in progress that I really love. I'm anxious to share them with you.
