First event of the day:  Irish Repertory Theatre to see "Tryst" with a lovely and new friend, Ruth Zachary,  who I met at Mary Rowell's Farewell Party/Concert.  This was a wonderful experience.  The play was by Karoline Leach and the actors were Andrea Maulella and Mark Shanahan.  Really really well acted.  Another very dark story that once more I liked - a con man and an innocent, not-lovely woman.

Then after a delicious dinner at Arte (another first for me) we went to the Cornelia Cafe to hear Ben Monder Trio.  We left after three numbers.
