Well, Riverdance seems to have gotten this busy, tired momma out on the town more than I have been in a long time. Last night there was an "After show party" for the cast and crew of Riverdance. They finished filming a DVD and it is the 15th anniversary, so the hotel where they were staying hosted a buffet dinner/live music party and we went. We got a babysitter (who planned to spend the night) and LEFT our house at 10:30 pm (when I am usually hoping to head to bed). I was wondering how I would stay awake, but once I got there it was fun. Free food and drinks, we had good conversation with both the Chinese musicians and some of the Irish ones. At one point the former director and founder of Riverdance sat down at our table and talked with us awhile. He was very nice and down to earth. He told me he used to love a Roy Orbison song called Leah and was planning to name his daughter that...but it turned out to be a boy. He told me to check out the song. We got home about 1:30 am and fell into bed. Austin now comes in our room in the morning after he wakes up (usually around 7 am) and it was hard to get up! He kept saying "Mommy, I think you can get up now. But I think Daddy needs to rest" Ha. How come Daddy needs the rest? We both got up anyway and somehow made it through the day. Tomorrow night we actually get to see the show (well, Chris has seen a lot of it from backstage).
