Sing hey the thoughtful livejournal readers that you are.

I said this over on Facebook, but I will repeat myself here:

markgritter and I are going to the Gilbert & Sullivan Very Light Opera Company's performance of H.M.S. Pinafore on Saturday at the Lake Harriet Bandshell. We'll be bringing picnic for ourselves, which will probably include enough bars and/or cookies to share with a few people if people turn up. The performance starts at 7:30. We will be picnicking somewhat in advance of that. If you're around and going to be there, look for us. We're likely to be on lawn chairs on the little rise behind the benches.

GSVLOC generally puts priority on music first, costume second, and dance third. That's for their stage productions. At the bandshell it's not a fully enacted performance, it's mostly just the music, possibly some funny hats. (For those of you who like dance a great deal, this may actually be a good thing: no need to worry that anyone will butcher the choreography.) They really want to get you out of there by dark, too, so the intermission is short and the pacing moves along at a really good clip.

The problem with that particular musical exchange is that when the answer really is never, reiterating, "What, never?" can be annoying for the other person who has to say, "No, really never, all right? Not as a musical reference! Just as me not getting to do the fun thing yet!"

I wish you fun thing soon.
