Photo-A-Day #02838 Tonight Allison and I went to see comedian Jim Jefferies at The Vets. It was a great show and we even got our seats upgraded when we got there. There weren't a ton of people so instead of being in the balcony we ended up in the mezzanine. We had a great view.

Photo-A-Day #02837 Eva came home last night and stayed for much of today. They had come home to pick up some costumes for the Connecticut Renaissance Faire this coming Sunday. It was nice to have Eva home even if it was a very brief amount of time. We went to lunch today with Allison before I had to head to work. Tonight Andy received a new messenger bag to bring around wherever they go. I love that Andy is going to be adorning this bag with all sorts of creative things.

Photo-A-Day #02836 Andy has put together a spell book to use at Dungeons and Dragons club. We ordered a blank notebook and then Andy covered it in some hot glue to spell out the work spells and add other decorations.

Photo-A-Day #02835 On Monday night Allison, Andy and I went to Bliss Dairy because they were doing Stuff a Stanley night where you pay $10 for 4 scoops of ice cream to put into any water bottle. We brought over three large water bottles and each got four scoops. I picked Oreo, Strawberry, Cookie Monster and Coffee Oreo. Got a few days out of this treat.

Photo-A-Day #02834 Andy has been creating different things using bottle caps and pop tabs. Andy's friends give them Monster energy pop tabs that are different colors. They also took bottle caps and bent them and painted them to look like Venus fly traps. Andy has been very creative lately.

Photo-A-Day #02833 Today Andy and I went over to ACT to help doing a bit of clean out. While I did not photograph the Mezzanine and back rooms where so many items are housed. That area has undergone many bad moments with water damage and crumbling walls with asbestos in the walls. So we popped on some masks and grabbed a few bags of garbage and filled the dumpster.  This is the smoking room of the Masons. The building has many floors and on this one they have these chairs and lots of implements for cigar smoking. They occasionally have a cigar night and I do not like when that corresponds to a ight when we have rehearsals. It stinks. After taking out the trash we helped bring some of the good items over to the storage unit that the theater has off site. We did about 2 hours of work in the afternoon and then I went home to get some more sleep.

Photo-A-Day #02832 This is the 40th Anniversary of The Legend of Zelda. This was one of my favorite games from when I was a kid. Now they have a few new games that are being released this year. I picked up this game from Best Buy because I had a bunch of gift cards and I also ordered the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I never played that particular game and so it will be totally new to me. It is on pre-order now and I got that through Amazon using gift cards from my car insurance app. I got $40 in gift cards form that, too.
