Day 173/365 (February 7, 2009)

The day started so early! i got up at like 6:30 to get ready and by 7:30 Michelle, Mark, Nicole, and myself were on our way to see Les Miz. The roadtrip was kind of nice because i ended up falling asleep for more than half the trip and so it went very quickly (thanks to Mark for driving and Michelle for being co-pilot).  We passed through DC and made our way into Arlington, VA where the Signature Theater is and met up with one of Michelle's friends who joined us. We also had lunch at Johnny Rocket's which was really fun and i loved the smiley face made out of ketchup!

We finally went in to see Les Miz, which is one of the shows i really don't like and it takes a special reason for me to sit through it. The Javert was way to angry and i had some problems with a few of the cast but there were also a few that were really spectacular! Andrew Call was just incredible. I have seen him sing before but in pop-y type things and this was the first time i heard him sing a traditional broadway type thing and his voice was flawless, and he acted the part so well.  I was also excited to see James Gardiner perform and he did a great job too.

We spoke with Andrew for a bit and i got my Glory Days poster signed by James, so now it is complete and once again hanging up in my living room. Then we headed off to check into our hotel, the Holiday Inn. It was a nice place and mark gave me my christmas gift which was "make your own opoly" so that will become Altar Boyzopoly. We brainstormed ideas and headed off to the mall to kill some time and get some dinner. It ended up being a pretty early night for us and we were all asleep by 10:30 (well i was everyone else was out by 10).
