An evening on the town
Sunday, June 15, 2008 at 11:59AM 
Got home around 10pm Friday night and immediately packed to leave. Children dispersed, Vonne and I catch a very early morning flight to Newark through Chicago O'Hare and then train into Penn and cab it to our Times Square hotel.
After a brief nap (parents of four kids LOVE to nap), without which the next part would not have been possible, we meet Mark Warren and his wife for dinner at Virgil's off the Square (Memphis-style dry ribs place I visit every chance I get).
It was a fabulous meal with conversation that went on for 2 and a half hours (our waiter loved us), and was the first time either Mark or Jessica had met Vonne.
Then Vonne and I see "Les Relations Dangereux" at the Roundabout, fourth row, dead center to celebrate 26 years together (22 legal). Laura Linney starred, along with Tony-nominated Ben Daniels (who was mesmerizing as "Valmont." Meryl Streep's daughter, Mamie Gummer, made her debut in this run, and was likewise excellent. More nudity than I expected (mostly male), and a truly engrossing set and production.
Three hours flew.
Needed to do that, and probably owe my kids an amusement park run to boot. Next ten days is mad dash to complete the edit of Great Powers.
