Coming Home

Its really funny how people latch on to places. I suppose, as i didn't go away for college, High Point kind of became that idyllic "college town" that i fell in love with on last years tour. This is amusing to me because it is in no way idyllic, but the memories i have of my time there, fill me with joy. Returning has been great. After a challenging but fun Ren-Run of Hamlet today, i went to Soup Night at my absolute favorite restaurant: The Grateful Bread Company.

Soups on the menu were :
Cabbage with beef

Butternut Squash and Pumpkin Bisque

Beef and Roasted Root Vegetables

Tomato Basil

(some other that i cannot remember right off hand)

This was served with all you can eat bread.

For $9.00.

Amazing. It was also just great to see all of my old friends at this place. When i was most lonely and homesick last year, i would go to this Restaurant for some savory local food and some conversation. It is so heartwarming to enter a place after half a year and still be called by name.

On the other hand, i am missing some Arlington. The days before my departure were really just filled with joy and work and good times with Empty Chair. Not only was i holding my own auditions, but able to help out with the current production of Much Ado About Nothing. Check it out! They're great.
