The crowd was just plain bad tonight. No entrace applause, no woo-ing at the final bow. I'm sorry I caused a fuss, it was just an off performance. And the fact that a headlight was out on the car (you'd think they'd notice that? Not that I care, but this little girl behind me kept asking if it was supposed to be out). Raul is wonderful no matter what he does, I'd rather see an off-performance of Raul's then the greatest performance of...well, most other people. I've been a hard-core fan for years now, but it just seems like he's ready to move on, and looking out at the audience that's only half full has to be painful. Thursday night is never that good.
Oh, and he didn't come out...not that there were that many people to come out to...Erin and everyone else did. I don't know. I'm just calling it like I see it. I'll still be loyal to him and Chitty will still be my favorite movie as a child.
On a lighter note, those pictures were delicious. Not like is doesn't take a good picture (scary headshot aside) but they made me smile. Thanks!!
