charlie brown play in hudson

i went to Hudson, wi, to see a play this afternoon. it was called 'Charlie brown christmas'. the second part was a live version of the TV special. the first part was partially a bio of Charles schulz, the creator. disappointing how there were some microphone problems, but otherwise i loved it. i wiped away a tear near the end, when Charlie was trying to decorate the tree. as a big Charlie brown fan i am thankful i found it in the cavalcade of public events on facebook. in the lobby was snoopy's doghouse, and Lucy's psychiatric help stand. after the play i walked across the former toll bridge, it has a great view of I-94.
   when i got back to the twin cities i reminded myself how there was another facebook event. it was at a micro-brewery, inside the former hamm's brewery complex. i bought two postcards, both were of the hamm's complex. later on i made it to the grocery store, but it wasn't cooper's. i don't like how they bag my groceries, so i went to an Aldi's where i can bag my own groceries. it was cheaper as well, and they had everything on my list except egg nog. actually they did have that, but i wanted a quart carton and they only had half-gallon. so i got the egg nog at a trader joe's.
   i also did some karaoke, two songs. it was 'waterloo' by abba, and 'cult of personality' by living colour. the MC had a darth vader Christmas sweater on. my second song was the final one of the night, it is not too often where i see them close up shop on the karaoke. nobody else wanted to sing that late i guess.
