I felt badly that, thanks to the pandemic, Brian didn't get to celebrate his 50th birthday. And of course it has left us wary of crowds, strangers, and stagnant air. But it's also heightened our sense of the ridiculous and strengthened our friendships. Working from that basis, I took inspiration from our ophthalmologist (she did this for her kid's birthday) and rented out an entire showing of the Taylor Swift Eras Concert Movie for his 52nd. We're not Swifties, but it seemed like a good idea to dip our toes into the zeitgeist. We had 40 seats to fill and our friends showed up - ready to sing, chair dance, and otherwise have a goofy evening with us.
My photography skills have atrophied (if they ever existed) and the theater was dark anyway. But rest assured there were sparkles (NOT glitter), smuggled beverages, and lots of fun.
Thank you so much to all the friends who joined us!!
