Because I couldn’t justify passing up the opportunity, I’m landing in New York tomorrow morning. New York is like my lover-in-the-closet, but the Bay Area will always be my main squeeze. Pictures and paragraphs upon paragraphs about Harry Potter’s naughty bits to come!

Ironic about that visit and this one? The hot topic-ness of gay marriage in California.

Spamalot is hilarious, the musical for musical-haters. They even made it topical. The Knight of Ni sang “California dreamin’, on such a winter’s day. I can go get married, even though I’m gay!” (Congratulations, George, Ellen, and maybe one day, Cynthia and more.) The cast got lost when this bit was thrown in, but eventually King Arthur saved them with some delightfully late improv. And who can resist the Killer Rabbit?

Since we saw Spamalot, Propposition 8 has passed. Damn you, out-of-state Mormon donors. Oh well. You’re not raining on my vacation parade! (Although I know Mother Nature will be…)
