Yesterday I went on a field trip to "Death of a Salesman" playing at the Artists Repertory Theatre (ART) downtown. The trip consisted of some 200 students from various English and drama classes. The theater was very cool and had an interesting setup:



As you can see in this poorly compressed JPG, it was a slim stage with seating on either side. The side I sat on was only 5 rows deep, the oppisite was only 6, so it was a very intimate setting. The actors were really good and being so close to the play was awesome. Anyways it kept my attention and was very well preformed, I quite enjoyed it. Oh, and all those exits were for actors, except the one perpendicular to the state, which they used to, but is also where us patrons file in. This let characters pop up all around the stage and spiced things up.

Later that night I went to the girls 1st round playoff game against Sandy. They brought A LOT of students, probably matching the number of Tualatin students (they are an hour away). But we shut them up pretty quick, taking a big lead and never letting it go. Their side would chant "Airball! Airball!" or "Ohhhhhh! You got swatted! You got swatted!" or something and we'd just come back with "Scoreboard! Scoreboard! Scoreboard!" and all point to the scoreboard. Pretty funny. Towards the end when they saw they were going to lose, they started to chant "Spoiled Rich Kids," which I thought was pretty clever (and true), and of course we came back with "You are poor!" Classsssy!

Anyways, it was really fun and a great atmosphere. This Saturday we play at Lincoln in the 2nd round, and they have a really wild crowd, Cameron Crazies at Duke esque. Should be fun, me and Kenny are going to go. If we can get past them, then we probably get a rematch with Lake Oswego.

Boys won their final game tonight and are in the playoffs as the 2nd seed out of the Pac-9. We either play @ Benson or @ Lincoln for the 1st round, and will lose either way.
