A little after 5:30 local time, on the Saturday evening that I was in Phoenix and direct message popped up on Facebook from Urspo's Someone. A free outdoor concert was set to start at 6:00 next to the theater across the corner from the hotel I was staying in. He would be there as theater staff. I pulled on some clothes, but not enough, and went across the street. After sunset and it turned cold in a hurry, I only lasted about half an hour. The music was fun, the performers were talented and energetic.
Last minute things like that can be terrific fun. Especially for normally very organised people.
ReplyDeleteI almost never leave the hotel room in the evening.
DeleteToo bad about the cold. That would be fun. Lisa Hightower has singing chops!
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten how quickly it cools off when the sun sets.
DeleteLisa Hightower was wearing the kind of sweater that you should have had on - plus a woolly beanie and gloves.
ReplyDeleteI was wearing a long sleeve t-shirt
DeleteCool! Both figuratively and literally!
ReplyDeleteShe was very good.
DeleteWhat a great fun idea., despite the chill.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to reached out to me.
DeleteThose little moments are good ones. And I think I have caught Lisa Hightower on Austin City Limits of PBS.
ReplyDeleteYou could sing a duet with her.
DeleteHow fun! I didn't know about the pop up concerts. While you were there, I was going into Symphony Hall, just a block away for the opera. Now I see why traffic was so bad in downtown.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot going on downtown Phoenix. There might have been a basketball game at the same time only a few blocks away.
DeleteGlad you were able to go.
ReplyDeleteIt was an close by, and fun.
