bday65 to celebrate at gala20!

While I was at the venue tonight, I thought: "Why not?"

So I bought the ticket for the future event, knowing it was a good deal more than I typically spend on one-night deals.

So why did I do it?

 

First, I was at the Savannah Children's Theatre to see their latest musical - featuring a story I was raised with - for the second time.

They just keep getting better, giving more every year.

This is their fifth production this year - THIS YEAR! - with more on the near horizon.

 

Second, I like the idea of going to a gala... I do!

I recall having an in-depth conversation with Deborah Ray and perhaps K.T. Aull, and who knows who else, about the differences between a gala, a fete, a party, and a soiree.

They actually have better recollections of my descriptions than I do!

But here's the main thing about a gala: cocktail attire is required.

Cocktail dresses for the women, cocktail jackets for the men.

I have a new black dress that I've not ever worn and this sounds like the perfect occasion for me to get dolled up and go out for the evening...

and a Saturday evening at that!

Third, I need a worthy event for my bday65 gift to me.

At a cost of $75 per ticket, this certainly qualifies.

It also benefits a cause I believe in, so that makes it perfect.

Now, to wait for the day...

and try to decide later whether to bid at the silent auction there.
