07/16/2007: "tagged and shook hands"


The art mobile for the art center where I work got some extra decoration by a group of delinquents with a can of spray paint last week. Big squiggles and stars where really none were necessary. It just makes me sad, my poor truck. I went out to repaint Friday to try and cover up the mess and as I was going around doing touch ups, since I was there with the paint, I discovered that the hoodlums also felt it necessary to shoot the windshield 7 times.

Sigh.

In happier news, we went to see the musical 1776 this weekend with a friend. He knew a cast member and so we waited around at the stage door and I got to meet Gaston. That is Gaston as in "Beauty and the Beast" and "I use antlers in all of my decorating" Gaston. His name is really Richard, he is super nice, and he did the voice in the movie. Cool huh? 1776 was a good production of a sort of boring musical, in my opinion. It just isn't one of my favorites. But it was fun to see and go to the new Guthrie Theater.

How fun to meet the "real" Gaston! He has an amazing voice.
So sorry about the art mobile.

P.S.
So, I've been pondering this off and on all day: Does the real Gaston resemble the cartoon Gaston in any way?

I would not have seen him on the street and said "Look! Gaston!". He's tall, built like a runner or swimmer and blonde. Definitely cute, but in his early 50's.

Blonde? Hmmm...am I being stereotypical by saying he doesn't sound blonde?

some people in their 50s are cute, despite their age, young'un! smile
