Drink or Go Home!

After the Justice Thomas thing we went to the opera with some friends that Calder goes to school with. I've never been to an opera but have been trying to do some more 'grownup' things lately and wanted to give this a try. We saw The Barber of Seville at the Ordway Center. HOLY COW. I have never disliked anything more in my life. So.. definitely not an opera person. At intermission we were walking out and poor Calder thought we were done. His friend said something about how much he liked it and Calder was like, "Wait... is there something after." "This is intermission..." "OOHhhhhh....." We discussed for a minute and decided we needed to either start drinking (the drinks were expensive but since we haven't ever before it probably wouldn't take much) or get the deuce out of there. We went back in, explained to our friends that we just realized we really don't like the oprea, and left. Leaving something so expensive in the middle never felt so good! Here's a picture we took on our way out, it pretty much sums up our feelings on the opera. Never again but it was worth the try, now I know.

Since we were already in St. Paul I had Calder take me to Sonic. I'd been craving a Strawberry Limeade since I realized how close we were. It kinda made up for the lame hour and a half before :)
