BOOM!

...and that's how my dream date at Wolf Trap came true.

The end.

Just kidding. But BOOM! really is the best way to describe it. Tcheers for Tchaikovsky (say it at home for a week - t-cheers-4-t-chaikovsky - for some good old-fashioned, nerd-tool fun) is a show that goes out with a bang. I've seen it twice, maybe thrice, now? Yet I'm continually delighted (hmm, doesn't seem strong enough to convey that I jump up at a classical concert and do fist pumps, all while shouting YEAH! in time with the blasts) by the 1812 Overture cannon send-off. This time, however, I got to have my wine-laced public picnic and under-the-stars snuggle to boot. So, yay + boom = happy!!!!

(Oh, and the music was good, too.)
