rhuWhat a day. Quick notes before bed while it's fresh in my mind.

introverte and I started off at a yarn store, then to the Morgan Library (across the street from the yarn store :-). WOW. Highlights: the Declaration of Independence and one of their three Gutenberg Bibles. I'll write more about it later, but once more: WOW. Then we split up; she did some more shopping and I swung by the NYPL to see their Gutenberg Bible. After lunch we saw Deuce --- performances were ok, but the mechanisms of the playwriting were too visible; it didn't feel like a finished work. Walked around Rockefeller Center, admiring the architecture. Dinner at Le Marais --- food was wonderful, service was great, but the fire alarm went off during dessert. After dinner we killed time admiring the elevators and lobby of the Marriot Marquis. Then off to Curtains --- well performed, and Rupert Holmes did a great job with the book, but the songs were mostly lackluster. One day I'd love to sit in the pit for a B'way musical; the mechanics of the performance were fascinating. It appeared that the conductor had "holding lights" on his music stand.
