That song is beautiful and I quite enjoy listening to it. Let us see what has happened since my last post... I had a beautiful weekend at Arizona Thespian Festival in which I had to moan several times when I lost the Burping Color Game thing (when someone burps you have to say a color and the last person to say a color has to moan) and my moaning became quite good. Two out of four times I ate food I had pizza, the other times I had a lunch that wasn't worth the price and that was totally messed up, and the other one was a gross veggie wrap with delicious chips, a cookie and juice. I don't know why they have to give vegetarians wraps because we can just as easily have cheese sammiches. SIGH. Thespians like to make things so complicated but who would we be without our complications? ;D
I wanna vent about the lunch that wasn't worth the price I payed because it honestly really ticked me off. So for the last two Thespian Festivals, not including this one, I went to this restaurant called Sam's Café and both of those times they were wonderful. The food was delicious, the waitress was nice, and no one was rude to us. This time was completely different. The waitress was a ditz and when my friend Andi and I ordered, we're both vegetarians, we ordered Spinach and Portabella mushroom quesadillas. I told the waitress (I told her because in a way I'm sort of a leader for the group at that time because I was a stage manager)we were in a hurry and she told me that she would bring the check out so that when we were done we could just leave. So the check comes out and I look at it and it doesn't say there are any Spinach quesadillas it says there are two shrimp quesadillas and so I get up and ask her about it and she says it's fine and that it's the same thing and so I sit back down and continue to inspect the bill. For nine people to eat at this restaurant it cost $107.88 and so we rounded up the money and I looked at it and I noticed there was a coffee but it was crossed out. No one even mentioned coffee when they ordered food and drinks and only three people got soda. The cheapest thing on the receipt besides the drinks was still over $8. Anyway, so she leaves with the check and the food comes out and the person handing out dishes calls out for who ordered the shrimp dish and I say no one ordered shrimp and she finishes handing out the dishes and goes to get what Andi and I ordered. The waitress comes back out with a new check and the money so when can redo our payment and when I look at the receipt I was shocked. You would think that when someone takes off a two meat products and a coffee that the bill would be less, but you'd be wrong. The bill was now around $120 and I was mad. I asked her how this was possible and she started to explain something to me that didn't answer my question and so my friend Katie, who was sitting next to me, says 'Let me see it.' and I hand it to her. She looks at it and the waitress starts talking again and Katie tells her to be quiet. The first time the waitress forgot to add the gratuity. So we gather a little more money and pay the lady and when she comes back and asks how the food was Katie told her 'It was decent. Not worth the price, not at all.' and I was shocked but I was happy. This waitress was not only stupid but she just didn't listen and blew me off when I asked her about the shrimp dish! Not only was our waitress rude but on the way in the seating people said to where a few people in our group could still hear 'Don't let them steal the plates.' This place used to be so good and I was completely shocked that in one year it had taken a turn for the worse. I don't know if our service was bad because there were nine of us and we were all teenagers or because our waitress was a ditz, but I am never EVER going back to that place.
ON A HAPPY NOTE! The rest of Festival was amazing. I went to some pretty awesome workshops and saw some awesome main stage events. I saw "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat" which were both amazing and mind blowing. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend if you take out the restaurant mishap!
See ya later! Sam.
