City of Angels

Yesterday morning was the first of four with my new buddy, Andrew A. He's a very smart young man and we seem to have a lot of musical tastes in common. As it was his first day here just sat and watched - he's in Sydney next week so we'll continue in a fortnight.

This morning, after coffee at Quint, I made another trip to Bunnings and bought more pink plants, or more accurately plants with pink flowers.

Then this evening I met B&P at the Arts Centre for a performance of the Cy Coleman musical City of Angels. An interesting piece with a clever book by Larry Gelbart, of MASH fame, it intertwined the "real" life of a screenwriter working on a script for a film, with the "reel" life of his creations. An excellent production was performed by an equally excellent cast and band, though I felt the first half worked better than the second. Still, a very energetic and satisfying night at the theatre.
