Well, so our ADF season is over. Happily, it ended on a very high note! Paul Taylor Dance Company was flawless! It so met and then exceeded our expectations. Best of all was that it was just dancing to music in costumes. How low really are our expectations! If this year's ADF has had a theme it must have been naked twitching to nerve-wracking noise. A little of that goes a very long way for us. I suspect from the size of the audience over the summer, we were not alone in that opinion. Honestly, we will look long and hard at next year's line up before committing again. Once burned, twice shy and all...
I am chagrined to say that The News & Observer did not review Paul Taylor! After a sorry season, the biggest remaining name in classic modern dance goes ignored. I don't even have words... Anyway, I did find this. And this!
For our last meal in Durham this summer we went to Pops. I think this is only the 2nd or 3rd time we've been since it changed hands and locations and we just don't really love it anymore. It was just okay. We skipped dessert since they did not have anything that tempted us and went for a final visit to The Mad Hatter. Good as usual.
Anyway, that is it for us and ADF for the year. Next little trip scheduled for us right now is a Bob Garner road trip in September. Clay says he needs to take some leave time between now and Christmas, so we'll have to see how that shakes out. I'll keep you posted! Later.
