You have to believe we are magic

I spent most of this week in Toronto at a conference for performing arts administrators. I wasn't sure what to expect for my first business trip ever, but it was great. Learned a lot, met many cool people, ate up a storm. The best part, of course, was having my own hotel room! I don't think that's ever happened before, and it was heaven. I wasn't in it much, but just having it felt supremely decadent.

I returned last night and was home for exactly 5 minutes before I turned around and headed out the door for "Xanadu" in Dolores Park. The movie itself was utterly bizarre, outrageously nonsensical and often glorious. Watching it with Pam and Leah was ideal, as they are "Xanadu" fanatics, and love it unreservedly. My favorite moment was when I realized that, like Olivia Newton-John in every scene, I too was wearing legwarmers! Not as a tribute to 80s fashion, or with any kind of hipster irony, but because I was trying to stay warm. All I need now are short shorts, feathered hair, and, of course, roller skates. Then I'll be here, now that you're near, in Xanadu...
