Weekend report

Sep 13, 2009 10:18

Saturday, I went to speruoc's moving sale getting some Renn-type CDs I'd been wanting. She's moving to Kentucky near family -- I'll miss seeign her around the Tavern volunteering. Then, on to work at the Horizon Theatre, where I found Jennifer (the Chief Operating Officer) and her husband trouble-shooting to fix the phone system which had shut down when they installed new computers and hooked them to a wireless network. Just at noon, when the box office officially opened, they'd fixed the problem, and the phone lines started hopping. I had emails and phoned complaints about the problem, and of course, the usual flurry of calls for tickets. By 2:00, we'd sold out (Third by Wendy Wasserstein), and the phones stayed fairly busy, which makes us all happy. After work, over to the Virginia-Highlands Market where a friend (also a Tavern volunteer) had a booth. Got some bluebird photocards, and a cast iron frog wall hook. Forty years of giving some sort of frog to my sister for her birthday or Christmas makes me jump (so to speak) on any new frog I find. A running joke is a lot of work.

Today is the Volunteer Appreciation party at the Shakespeare Tavern, 25th anniversary as a company, and 20th on Peachtree Street. It's a potluck this year (am bringing bean salad as my part) rather than bought food, since we decided to use our earnings to cover the first quarter of recycling at the Tavern. I'll have to leave early to go to the GA State Orchestra concert. Rick has the viola solo in Vaughan Williams' Fantasie on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. After enjoying that, back to the Tavern for As You Like It. Whee!!
