Mary Beth and I went to Ballet Memphis to see their ballet production of MacBeth and it was good! It was MacBeth and it was ballet and I thought they did a good job of it. I was a little annoyed today to see this Halloween show I was asked to play (night before Halloween) get posted without me even though I had agreed to do it. Now, I'll start with this being likely all for the best as my show next week (in a week, wow!) isn't that long before it, but still. Now, I also admit that my response agreeing to it was poorly worded and probably confused him, but my annoyance comes from not having been asked for clarity if that was the case or any sort of follow-up. I was asked the morning I was packing up and right about to leave for Louisville, so I was a little distracted, but this is what I said, "Let me see. I may be able to do that. I'm literally getting ready to drive to Louisville in a few minutes so my brain's a little distracted right now. But fuck it, I'll go ahead and say sure and think about it later." (Followed by laughing emoji.) Actually, looking back on it again, it doesn't seem THAT ambiguous. My "sure" = "yes" (heightened by its following the "But fuck it") and "think about it later" was about thinking about what I would actually play later. I pretty quickly came up with an idea for it I liked and was looking forward to putting together, I guess also fueling my annoyance. Again, not a big deal and probably for the best, but it's a little annoying that I never got any sort of response or follow-up at all after that. (Now here's my shrug emoji.)
