On Metro, showing off the jewels the ladies bought me at the Kennedy Center
Outside the Kennedy Center
Inside the Kennedy Center, Brian relegated to his traditional role as photographer
Many, many other people at the Kennedy Center were dressed for the holidays. Who knew the Holiday Pops concert is actually a costume party?
A group of us went to the National Symphony Orchestra Holiday Pops Concert last night. Somehow, I don't have any pictures with Kris, Kate, Kate or Jackie, but I wish I did!!!!
We all had a great time. The concert was conducted by Marvin Hamlisch who is wonderfully talented and amazing -- I'm slightly obsessed with him. I bet my praise means the same to him as the Oscars, Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, Tony and Pulitzer he's reeled in. It must be that we have so much in common, with our Julliard-level talent and everything. But seriously, the concert was more interactive than I expected. Those of you who know me can imagine my delight at learning that there would be a SING-A-LONG! You can also probably imagine the similar lack of delight on the part of those sitting next to me:) Santa came to the concert too, and it snowed!
I wasn't out of place at all in the Kennedy Center. I'm not really sure I can get credit for dressing in holiday garb, given the number of people in holiday sweaters, antlers, and Santa hats that were also at the concert. Whatever, I'm going to take credit anyway. Maybe for going outside in a skirt -- it was so cold that I was certain I was going to perish. This should be interesting, now that I've realized that the Baltimore Ravens play football OUTSIDE and that I picked to attend a game in December . . . may have to wear a full-on Santa Suit on Sun.
Lots and lots and lots of thanks to those who have participated thus far. We are getting RICH!
TOTALS:
$1175 (PayPal--I know it says $1150, but eChecks take awhile to go through and I'm just going to have faith that nobody is trying to steal from the kids) + $246 = $1421
Thanks to today's Snowmen:
* Alison Kogut
* Neal Parsons
* Bear, Jamie & Sophie Hollis
* Aunt Terri, Uncle Joe & the rest of the Hakeem clan!!

This is funny. I knew you were wearing sweaters every day, but this is just funny. You definitely stand out!
