All that talk of cloisters and Gascony really made me want to play some Carcassonne
We got a little culture this weekend, seeing the Shotgun Players performance of the Three Musketeers up in John Hinkel Park. Chilly though it was, outdoor theater beats the pants off the alternative. The show is playing through September - definitely check it out if you have the chance. Feel good about supporting the arts, etc. etc.
Though this was honestly my first exposure to the story, outside of the Charlie Sheen / Kiefer Sutherland / Chris O'Donnell movie version, which I remember being awesome but which I'm sure wasn't. The performance was very well done, but I can't say that I care for the play. The overarching message, I think, is that women are conniving, murderous whores whose only joy lies in the destruction of noble men. What an AP English essay that would make.
