A Comedy Of Errors

September 6, 2006 at 11:55 am (life)

Last friday I met Sam at the V&A and we toured the gallery and then walked around the city for a while catching up. He had some really cool adventures this summer, and brought me back a can of “Ugarit” cola for which I’m very grateful.

That evening I went to Heathrow to meet Dan flying in from Italy. Except he got tagged by immigration as suspicious so I got a call on my phone while I was waiting at the arrivals gate and they quizzed me as to what I do in London and where I live etc… In the end he was cleared and we took the tube back to mine.

The next three days were spent touring London. We saw Chekov play, “The Seagull” at the National Theatre. I sat next to a percussionist from the Philidelphia philharmonic who was preforming at the Proms the next evening. We spent a lot of time in the BM, the Tate modern, and the National Gallery. On Monday evening we went to A Comedy of Errors at the Globe theatre with Sam as well. It was absolutely amazing. We bought five pound standing tickets and stood in the yard for the show, but being one of the shortest of Shakespear’s plays it wasn’t bad. The Actors were amazingly funny and overall we all agreed that it was excellent.

Dan left Tuesday morning and Peter came later in the evening. Today we walked up to Wood Green and investigated the “Shopping City” as well as played some baseball in the park.
