Journal Entry: August 20, 2001

Beth and I went to see King Lear performed at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival on Saturday night. The weather turned out to be great, unlike the show I attended last year, where I got rained on.  There’s a new burger joint on The Hill in Boulder, in the space previously occupied by a Korean restaurant, and before that a Japanese restaurant.  It’s called Thunderbird Burgers.  The burger was o.k. I guess, but about 3 times as much bun as meat.  They have these huge homemade style buns.

Last night (Sunday) we went to an open mike night at Stella’s in south Denver, near DU.  It was pretty good, though a little bit long for my tastes.  I think 15 different people read, which was about 3 times as much as I’d prefer.

Tonight and tomorrow night, we’re going bat watching, as part of the Boulder County Bat Survey.  Assuming the weather’s nice, that is.  If it’s rainy or windy, we’ll have to postpone for another day.

Oh, I put a few photos up of me on vacation this spring.

And last night I finished reading William Gibson’s All Tomorrow’s Parties.  It’s probably not his best work, but entertaining nonetheless.
