I had the wonderful opportunity, last week, to attend the Do-It-Yourself Messiah with my friends Karen, Kim, and Tammie. It was held at the Civic Opera house in Chicago. We planned to leave early, find some dinner, and then go sing. But as it turns out, the traffic was so terrible it took us more than two hours to get there and we ended up being a bit late. We had to sit on the very last row of the very top tier. During intermission we got up and moved down a few floors.
It was incredible. The soloists were awesome, the audience choir was huge and did a pretty good job. It was such a fun time, despite being the coldest night I have spent any real time in. The temp. was about -34 degrees F. with the wind chill. We only had to walk about 3 blocks from our parking place and my face was numb when we got there. Sooooo cold! Our dinner ended up being McDonalds on the way home at 11:00 that night. It was really fun. Thanks girls :).
