Blogging from Opening Night

Garrison Keillor and company went on stage about an hour ago and Wolf Trap's 35th Anniversary Summer Season is officially underway. Despite the thunderstorms that rolled through the D.C. area late this afternoon, we got very little rain here at Wolf Trap and the skies were looking good by the time the gates opened.

Tonight is the first of back-to-back nights of A Prairie Home Companion. Tomorrow's show is a live broadcast beginning at 5:45pm and the show is sold out, but those of you in the Washington area can tune into WETA 90.9 FM or you can stream it online from anywhere in the world. You can also call 703-255-1868 to check on last minute ticket availability. There will likely be some live blogging happening on here tomorrow night as well.

Then on Sunday night, we have a free concert and fireworks.
