Fort Worth It

Last week was spent in downtown Fort Worth, Texas.  Despite the predisposition of it being a week sit-down after "hell week", Fort Worth was a great place to spend a week.

The downtown area was metropolitan without too much hubbub.  The weather was warm in the sun, cool in the shade, and very pleasant after sunset.  And after said sunset, most of the buildings and trees become alight- I'm not sure whether this is just for the holidays or all year, but it was gorgeous.  Almost anything you needed was only a few blocks away at most.

There were these unified holiday decorations all over downtown!

The theater was right around the corner from the hotel, which was awesome.  Across the street from the theater was a Barnes & Noble, and caddy-corner was The Flying Saucer: Drought Emporium.  So there was a place to hang out before/between shows and after shows........respectively.......no, I didn't drink before shows.

The theater itself was incredible.  If I knew the first thing about architecture, I'd give you a pretty detailed description.  Instead, I'll just post some pictures.

Bass Performance Hall, Fort Worth, TX

(notice the heralding angels dominating the front- pretty cool)

Angels were the theme throughout the theater's design.

We had a solid week of shows (thanks to the rest from NOT traveling) and amazing audiences.  We also had a lot of visitors in the orchestra- apparently it was "significant other" week in the pit.  Ah well, misery loves company.  Haha, just kidding............misery prefers to be alone.

So this week we're in Bloomington, Indiana, on the campus of Indiana University Mon-Thur, and travel on Friday to finish out the week in Huntsville, Alabama.
