The weekend
Feb. 5th, 2006 10:36 pmRigoletto at Lyric on Friday. A much better production than the one a few years ago, and uniformly excellent voices: Dina Kuznetsova as Gilda, the always reliable Frank Lopardo as the Duke, and Carlos Álvarez doing a splendid job as Rigoletto. Dinner beforehand at Lloyd's, which seems to have improved since its move down the street. Jim-less, as he was at an ABA meeting in Puerto Rico. Next week it will be just me and Jamie, as Beth and Duncan have changed their tickets, and Jim and Kevin will be in New Zealand.
Saturday was the board meeting of the IACDL (Illinois Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers). A good meeting. Finances are on track, deadwood has been removed from the board and some fresh blood brought in. It was downtown, so afterwards I wandered off to the library. Beforehand, I had tried to release a book at my bank's ATM, only to find that the bank had moved! (This is the main office; I rarely go there, which is why I didn't know.) I went to the new location a couple of blocks away, but for some reason my card wouldn't work in the reader and I couldn't get in. Bummer. Excellent example of why doing release notes ahead of time is not always a good idea. In the afternoon, I went to one of my favorite thrift shops to drop some stuff off, and came away with a nice pair of butterscotch-colored ultrasuede boots, and a stack of books.
An email came from Karen H. , the exhibits chair of Chicago Hand Bookbinders. She has put the current exhibit online, and you can see it here. Here's mine:
