Weekend Report (slightly belated)

On Friday, I attended The Slutcracker at the Somerville Theater. Oh yes, it's a brilliantly named burlesque show based upon Tchaikovsky's famous ballet. I didn't really know what to expect, and it much more like the actual Nutcracker than I expected- same score, similar plot, only dancing, no dialogue or singing. Only with lots of pasties. And a pole dancer. And Clara's toy that comes alive, well, let's just say that it's not a nutcracker, and it's not a tree that grows. Overall, it wasn't nearly as raunchy as I imagined (um, which was good, I guess, because I went with a bunch of coworkers), but it was hilarious, creative, and very entertaining. We made a full night of Davis Square, with dinner at Redbones beforehand and drinks at the Burren afterwards. Both places were a lot of fun and I'd hang out in Davis Square a lot more often if it weren't for the $30 cab ride home. Ah well.

The rest of the weekend was very busy and fun. I ventured out to the burbs for a Christmas party, but was rewarded with Harpoon Winter Warmer for my efforts. My niece Maggie also had her 2nd birthday party...look at how cute she is! I also like how she's wearing a shirt with her own picture on it. Take that, Paris Hilton.

And now for something completely different:
