I Won! I Won!

I’ve become hooked in Twitter in the past few months.  J introduced me to it.  At that time, he’d been a member for almost a year and had only ‘tweeted’ once, but he’s at it like crazy and I’m right behind him.

So far, only one of my own real life friends is on Twitter, so it’s nice to see her tweets once in a while.  The rest are people I know through J.  Plus, there are all kinds of business, TV, history, etc., to follow for their updates, which makes for some interesting reading.  One of the places I follow is The Belgrade Theatre in Coventry.  One of the reasons I do that is because I still have some theatre vouchers that were a wedding give to me and the ex, and this threatre is one of the places I could use them.

However, last Friday, the theatre tweeted their Friday Freebie – answer a question about one of the plays now on (Season’s Greetings) and win a pair of tickets by 5:00 that day.  I answered the question, and I won!

Unfortunately, the tickets needed to be used by last evening and I really don’t have a lot of people I can ask.  Most of my friends are either in the US or Birmingham!  Janet had to work…J was tempted to skip going to a meeting – he said he’d be happy to go with me – but he really needed to go to the meeting.  None of this bothered me too much, as I really had no problem with going on my own.  It would just have been nice to go with someone.

Well, I went.  I was told to pick up my tickets at the box office, which I did.  I said I really only needed one ticket, but they gave me both, and I’m glad they did.  The seats were the 4th row back from the stage, which seemed like a good position, except, of course, the person who sat in front of me was quite tall…so I just shifted over to my other seat. 

I enjoyed the play.  I also enjoyed being at the theatre.  Prior to the start, I sat outside for a while, as it was a lovely evening and the plaza area in front of the theatre is a nice place to sit.  Although I didn’t buy a drink (trying to make those pennies scream), I checked out the cafe bar and the bar – nice interior, lots of open seating space, just a nice place.

Now, if Janet or J had been able to accompany me, they would’ve driven.  As it was, I took the bus, of course.  The play ended a little bit before 10:00 and my next bus wasn’t until 11:05!  Still, I took my time leaving the theatre and then sat outside again for a while before slowly making my way to my bus stop – which was about a 10 minute walk away.  Coventry is a quiet place on a Monday night!
