So I went to the first opera of my season subscription tonight, A Masked Ball. I had no idea it was also the opening night of the season! The mayor was there, and a California congresswoman also. And a crapload of people dressed to the nines. I'm glad I decided against the jeans. Even in my nice black clothes, I felt like a peasant. But it was great fun anyway.

I actually thought of taking my camera and then rejected the idea. I was kicking myself as soon as I showed up and there was a red carpet, and a guy in a red pimp suit making sure all the really rich people were funnelled to a door that the regular people couldn't use. And since the theme was masks, quite a few people had come in their own masks. Fascinating.

The opera was pretty good too.

Tomorrow? Ren Faire!
