Busy weekend. Friday, the office went to the London Eye for our Summer outting. True to form, the weather was awful -- hot, humid, wet, cloudy. But, a day off is a day off. The London Eye (also known as the Millenium Wheel) is actually quite impressive. Here are the photos. We then took a cruise of the Thames to see the river view of London, including some of its most famous buildings. Of course, drinking lager on a swaying boat does something to one's inner balance, and I spent hours afterwards feeling as though I were going to be pitched over.



Last night went to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I was reluctant to be excited about a Glam rock musical about a East German transsexual GI bride. But it's deliciously trashy -- and has a surprisingly strong performance by Michael Cerveris as Hedwig. Watching the show transform from a rather predictable drag story, to a deeply moving, troubling show is inspiring. Go see it if you can.
