Last Saturday evening, I organized what was arguably a rather egotistical Meet-Up. Since I was starring as Henry II in a local production of The Lion in Winter, I thought that might be a good excuse for a "Dinner & a Show" with fellow Kossacks who might be interested in seeing it. I was rather humbled that some were willing to travel as far as they did for the occasion. Without further ado:
(L-R: Mr. allergywoman, allergywoman, Amber's sister, Amber6541, Mr. luvs, luvsathoroughbred, NormAl1792, 1864 House and her husband)
More pictures below the Fleur-de-Kos, of Kossacks, Food Pr0n, and from the play!
1864 House and her husband traveled all the way down from LaCrosse, WI, on her Birthday!!!
luvsathoroughbred and her husband also drove a ways from their corner of IL:
Amber6541 and her sister flew in from SE MI, and stayed at our house overnight:
allergywoman and her husband are locals, and it is always nice to see them again:
As promised, Food Pr0n!!!
I had to leave early, for make-up, costume, and warm-ups, but some more pix got taken in my absence:
Then on to the show!
