saturday show

 today was the first family matters show.

 the day began with a tech for the group pieces and then a runthrough of the final "review" where all the dancers walk through their dance at once (deychen had a fever and was very much under the weather).

afterwards, chanda and i stopped at the new french bakery store on eighth avenue: aux marveilleux.

 their pastries are delicious, and they also had a chocolate chip brioche which we bought for tomorrow morning. we also picked out pastries for dessert tonight.

here's a view of the kitchen where you can watch them bake from the sidewalk.
