Gren, Olive and I had a fabulous dinner at Nora's ( salad, Mediterranean chicken, and cupcakes for dessert) then we drove over to her old stomping grounds of Berkeley. At the Berkeley Rep., which is also turning 40 this year, we saw Carrie Fisher in her one-woman play named Wishful Drinking (to tell you the truth I don't know why it is named that).
She was awesome! We loved it. She did a complete run down of her life told us why she did not have to wear a bra in Star Wars - you don't need them in space, according to George Lucas. Even brought out the old wig. She gave us run down on her whole family history and why she is who she is. She talked about her ex-hubbies Paul Simon and Bryan Lourd whom she turned gay because she was taking codeine. Next time she will read the label better. She analyzed a bunch of Paul's songs that he wrote about her and their relationship. We all left thinking about what a great addition she would be to our group of friends.
Her show runs till April 12th and is well worth seeing.
