Saturday night I went to a party. I wasn't sure what to expect at this party but when I got there I saw that two old friends were there. These are the kind of friends everyone wants to have as they are the coolest people you know. And when they come to a party you know you'll have a good time as Kevin will always tell the best stories and Simone will always sing the most wonderful songs. OK, so it wasn't a party I went to it was the Seattle Rep's extremely limited run (only two performances) of Kevin Kling and Simone Perrin in "A Fool's Paradise". But from the moment they stepped on stage, it felt like we were at a party with old friends and that there was nowhere on Earth we would rather be.
