Xena lives!
Oooh, neat! I love Chicago. Someone on the Xena/Gabby list posted about something called Xena Lives!, which is a musical set after the series finale, wherein, obviously, Xena lives. I only really noticed it because the headline said May 11, which is also my birthday, so it jumped out. LOL So I told my mom, "oooh, Xena play on my birthday downtown!" Then kept reading to find out it actually extends to May 19, after she said to give her details when she signed back online. Then I kept exploring the site, and it sounds fantastic. Tribune raved about it. Then I read about the theater and discovered that it's apparently #1 in Chicago for lesbian, gay, and bi quality programs and stuff. <.g> Now that'll be interesting. I'm fine with that, of course, and take that to mean I'm gonna get a lot of really great and fun Xena/Gabby subtext here that might even venture a bit farther. Fantastic, I say. Problem being that my dad would have to be the one to buy my ticket(s), since I won't be home until the 11th and by then the last nights would most likely be sold out. So. Do I attempt to pretend I didn't know that and ask dad to get me tickets anyway? Try and get them myself without letting him know exactly where I'm going that night? (Which would never work.) This is going to take some consideration...I really want to go! But I also have to live at home all summer long. LOL

Before I started reading the post, May 11 jumped out at me :giggle:

Oo, that sounds like fun. If was a Xena watcher, I'd go with ya. I'd say if it's really going to be a problem with your dad, pretend you don't know. That's what we did when my family went to see Rent. In the car, he said "So I was talking to people at work, and I hear this is about gay couples." I was like "It's about *relationships*, Dad." He ended up enjoying it greatly. So what he doesn't know to begin with isn't gonna hurt him. ;)

Well, every review I've read says that it's enjoyable whether you watch the show or not, or if you missed the first stage production, so.....LOL And I'm thinking you're right, pretending I'm clueless about the theater is probably my best bet. *g* Wish me luck. LOL

Oh man. I wanna go to this thing. :)
And I'll jump on the "It has gay subtext? I didn't know, daddy!" bandwagon. *g*

Biz, come with me! It's not that long of a drive. *g* It'd probably be a longer drive for you, though, Miggie. LOL
I've decided to play the clueless angle and go for it. Krissy's right, gotta celebrate Lead Awareness Day, after all!
