Saturday fun

Saturday Dad and I went to the Broadway production of RAIN with Rod and Mary.  RAIN is a tribute to the Beatles, it is set kinda like a series of concerts with the songs coming out in release order (I think).  The actors/musicians were incredible, looking and sounding just like the Beatles.  They have been together and doing this for about 15 years.  I really enjoyed it.  

Then afterward we walked down to the Via Calori chalk street art.  It was just a short walk from the theater.  Most of the art was about 1/2 done, and the artists were diligently at work creating their masterpieces.  They havent posted pictures of this year's work.  It was threatening rain, so maybe it all washed away like in Mary Poppins.
Here is the lik that has pictures from last year.

A small 'Occupy Houston' contingent was camped out in the partkjust across from the theater.  One guy was ranting at all the theater goers.  His main beef seemed to be the Hobby theater's refusal to let them use the bathrooms.  All of the bathrooms are located in the intererior which is reached after you present your ticket.  So I am sure the theater would have been happy to sell them a ticket to the show so they could reach the bathroom.
