Wednesday, July 24, 2002 The Party My grandmother (dad's side) had been waiting for this for 25 years... my grandparents' 50th anniversary party was pretty cool in the end, but a bit of a headache for my parents before the day, I think. My grandmother kind of went off the deep end in the planning stages, but everything turned out well. We stayed in the President Suite in the Raffles Town Club (wow!!). My grandparents put everyone up in the hotel part of the club for 2 nights, and they really went all out. This suite is seriuosly bigger than my house next year... it's got a jacuzzi, a sauna, a grand piano, a dining room with a looong table (you could practically hold state dinners in there), etc. It's amazing. The piano is really nice. :-) Oh--and there's a mini swimming pool in here as well. It's like a condo. But better. I'll probably never have that much money, but it was nice to experience. A funny story about the whole party: My grandparents wanted me to play "something classical on the flute" for their party, so I prepared a nice piece, which I previewed for them the day of the party. Problem: by "classical," my grandmother had meant musical theatre. Argh. So I spent the afternoon figuring out bits and pieces from Broadway musicals and putting them together into a medley since I hadn't brought any other music with me. A very interesting experience.... It seemed to turn out alright though. Such are the problems of a performer. :-) ^ Top | 6:09 AM | | |
