vampire wednesday

Today was my date with my mumsie to a 'surprise' destination....

We went to go see Dracula at the Centennial Concert Hall put on by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet!

I absolutely love going to the ballet and was so excited that my hunch of where we were going was right. It was such a dark and gothic story (many gothic clad audience members...one donned a black miniature top hat avec a veil), but they were able to slide some humour into it as well when they started the second half off by dancing to a humorous narrated synopsis. The special effects were also very impressive with people appearing and disappearing and even being able to have a person shishkabobed on a stake with it standing vertical. The costuming was also lovely. They were selling sketches of the costume design on the mezzanine during the intermission, they would have looked great on my wall...

We ended the night with a little stop at Starbucks for some Chai Lattés. Mmmm...

Thanks, mama, for a great night and being a terrific date!

(For real, I'd be okay with getting some super classy binoculars like in the 30s for when I go to the shows...)

Anyway, I've finished three days at my new job at Moulé and I think I will like this job, which is great considering the first few days/weeks at new jobs are always the worst. Lots to learn though yet...
