glengarry glen ross and redwood room

Glengarry Glen Ross is the title of a 1984 Pulitzer Prize and Tony-winning play by David Mamet. The play shows parts of two days in the lives of four desperate Chicago real estate agents who are prepared to engage in any number of unethical and/or illegal acts (from lies and flattery to bribery, threats and intimidation to burglary) in order to sell undesirable real estate to unwilling prospective buyers. The play draws partly on Mamet's experiences of life in a Chicago real estate office, where he worked briefly as a typist in the late 1960s. The title of the play comes from the names of two of the real estate developments being peddled by the salesmen characters.

saturday nite hunny and i were invited to the Glengarry Glen Ross play by elaine and her friend mark. two if his friends canceled so we took their place. i was so excited to go see a play! it has been years since i've gone to see one. the play went very fast, the first half was over before we knew it due to the fast dialogue. my fav character was richard roma, even though i didn't like him the beginning. i think his acting was the best. there was also another actor that looked like a younger and cuter version of vaughn on alias. hehe:) i also thought it was very revolutionary for it's time since there were a lot of references which i thought must have been very daring to say in the 80's. recommended that you go see it!

after the play we hung out at clift hotel's redwood room. my new drink of choice is a blueberry vodka tonic. the bar area was pretty full so we just hung out on the couches in the hotel lobby. twas a great time chatting it up since both mark and elaine are full of great conversation. we talked about genetics, drugs, business, food, friends, and a million other things. after hanging out for a few hours at the hotel we decided to go eat since hunny was hungry again. also hunny has never been to osha (the cheap thai restaurant, not the occupational health and safety administration) so we decided to take him there since it was walking distance. we shared a couple dishes and chatted it up even more. twas a perfect day. dragonboating in the morning with diana and henry and then dinner, a play, drinks and more food at nite with elaine and mark. life is good.
