As part of the prenatal fetal-education program in the McCauley household, not only does Squirmy get morning greetings from future papa Pete and occasional mandolin serenades, we are taking it out to shows. It really does not have a choice in the matter, but so far, it has been to Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen, and the slightly less-well-known Hounds of Finn.
Last night it was Canadian Comedy Troupe "The Kids in the Hall", so it was multi-cultural as well as entertaining.
And hee-larious. Pete spent the evening hanging out with his mom at The Dubliner while I sat in the Orpheum a few rows away from Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald, Scott Thompson, Mark McKinney, and Bruce McCulloch. It was lovely. They were my best friends while I lived in Wyoming alone and their show was in reruns on Comedy Central. Sad, but true.
They did mostly new material, and it was excellent. It's great to be in a crowd like that; people were there to enjoy themselves, and all the laughter can only be good for me. The next show is "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at The Guthrie, then the ballet in New York City, followed by "Wicked" on Broadway, and Eddie Izzard and "Spamalot" here in Minneapolis.
McFetus is gettin' some culture!
