A sighting of Hayward.... A sighting of Lawler.... A sighting of the Friar.... A sighting of von Heyking.... Snatches of conversation with various and sundry folks, including (gasp!) Damon Linker.
I had planned to attend the Claremont reception, but my kids insisted that I join them at a different kind of geekfest, a highly campy interactive viewing of 1776, the Musical (sort of like a Rocky Horror Picture Show for home-schoolers, at least those who can stand the PG-13 language and mild innuendo).
The family spent the day "in history," listening to thirteen different storytellers, encountering role-players and funny park rangers. They also crossed paths at least once with another political science widow and her orphans.
Mixing Rocky Horror and History, how can you not have a good time?
It mustve been like...a TIME WARP!
Sorry, couldnt resist.
I would hardly call "1776" PG-13 - maybe a PG is warranted because everything but Curious George is. That is one hilarious musical.
