Little Miss Communication

Well, it has been way too long since our last blog! We promise to provide updates on our 22 hour, one passport trip to Montreal and a Thanksgiving where both our families joined up, but for now, we wanted to tell you about our latest adventure: going to see The Ego and the Oracle.

Our friends Priscilla and James offered us their ticket to this iPod shuffle meets psychic reading event because they'd already gone and wanted to spread the glee. We had no idea what we were in for! In line with our Driving to anyplace in Boston is horrible but the anyplace itself is great motto, the 20 minute drive took an hour, we couldn't find parking, and we barely made the start of the show, which was in the back of a cozy pub.

Here's the premise: everyone turns in a card with a question and a fake name (mine was Brand New Bride). Then the band comes out and a Wheel of Fortune (the oracle) and a guy who moderates. He pulls questions out, the person who asked the question comes up, spins the wheel, and then the oracle reveals a song, which the band plays, and then the moderator interprets how the song answers the question.

So, they called up Brand New Bride (aka, me) and my question was: "I'm newly married. Will my husband I be happy." Then I spun the oracle and the song that came up was...Miss Communication! Ha ha ha! The song was about all the miscommunications in relationships. Super perfect! Eric got called up as well (and was given the name BNG--Brand New Groom). Oh, and did I mention the band was good? Because they were awesome--their songs were clever and fun and catchy.

Afterwards, we went to a little crepes place and I got a lemon and sugar crepe and Eric got one with Belgian chocolate. It felt thoroughly magical to get to have crepes at 9pm on a school night in an area of Boston we rarely explore. A truly perfect evening. Thanks Priscilla and James!
