Local Tourist is where we talk about all the fun local adventures we went on over the past month. It’s supposed to be the last weekday of the month, but with Thanksgiving, I’m a bit late! Don’t forget to visit my lovely co-host Dara from Not In Jersey.
Local Tourist (November 2019): X Ambassadors, the movie Last Christmas, and Puffs the Play! #ontheblog #cincinnati Share on XLocal Tourist: November 2019
I went to a lot of craft shows in November – they’re always fun to look around, and I tend to find a few gifts for people.
Saturday, November 9: I went to Indianapolis with a friend to see the band X Ambassadors. A little further than “local” but I’m still counting it. This was my sixth time seeing them and they are absolutely amazing. I took some mini videos but I need to get those up on Instagram still!
Wednesday, November 20: My tap class performed at a local nursing home, with some others from the dance studio. My class did one tap dance and it was fun! I know some of the people that live there really appreciate it and enjoy the show.
Saturday, November 23: My mom, sister, and I went to a local movie theatre to see the movie Last Christmas. I really loved it. It went in a direction I did not see coming, but I thought it was really good. I know it’ll be a bit hit or miss for people, but it’s one I’d watch again, and Emilia Clarke is just adorable.
Sunday, November 24: I went to the Know Theatre in Cincinnati to see the play “Puffs” which is basically a parody of Harry Potter, but it follows three friends from the “Puffs” house (AKA Hufflepuffs). It was such a great show, and my sister and I were definitely quoting it for about a week after. Definitely recommend if you’re a Harry Potter fan and I’ll try and write more about it soon.

You had a busy November! I think that is lovely that your tap class performed at a nursing home – you must have made their day! Last Christmas sounds interesting (I just love Christmas movies this time of year).
Tap? That sounds so fun! I have no rhythm whatsoever, haha. I really enjoy craft fairs, but haven’t been to many since having kiddos. The crowds make me nervous, haha.

I think X Ambassadors would be such a fun show to see! I’m glad you enjoyed it. How neat that your tap class got to perform for the nursing home. I’ll bet the residents really liked seeing that. 🙂
So fun that your tap class performed!
What a fun month you had! I love that your tap class went and performed for a nursing home, that’s such a great way to spread some joy! I’d like to see Last Christmas. The Puffs play sounds like a lot of fun too!
That is so awesome that you performed at a nursing home. I remember brining my Girl Scout troop to the local nursing home, and it really meant a lot to many of the residents.
I love these posts! My favorite is that you tap danced at a nursing home. 🙂
Oooh, as a HufflePuff I’m definitely intrigued by the Puffs! We had the Potted Potter show here in my town over Thanksgiving weekend, but I wasn’t sure if I’d want to see it or not. Have you seen that one?
I have so much fun at craft fairs too! I just went to one with my mom and aunt last week and got my littlest kiddo a kitty bag, it’s so cute! And I ♥ Indianapolis! We lived there in my mid 20s and there was always tons to do!
I like X Ambassadors! How awesome that you’ve seen them 6 times live! Sam Harris’s voice is fantastic…
Last Christmas I’d like to see despite hearing things that give me a case of the rage. I’d like to see it and make up my own mind. Good to know you enjoyed it!
Glad to hear you enjoyed Last Christmas. I really want to see that film.
That was nice to make a visit to the nursing home to entertain. I know that residents seem to really enjoy the company like that.
How fun! I have never heard of the play Huffs, but I want to see it now!
I love that you are taking a tap class. What a great idea to perform at a nursing home!
The X Ambassadors are great live. I’m so bummed that we don’t have newer bands playing around here.
We can drive into Portland but I need to figure out parking and pet sitting and all that.

I might go see Last Christmas next week during the day by myself! Lol! I do that 1-2x a year. It’s fun!! I didn’t know you were in a tap class! How fun! My daughter does tap competitively and she just got these black and white tap shoes, so fun (and expensive! lol!).

I saw Puffs a few months ago! I had such a great time, but my poor husband doesn’t really read Harry Potter and he had no idea what was going on.
I love local craft shows! I always get so inspired to try some new crafts too.
[…] I know this isn’t my usual type of post, but I just LOVE Lauren Becker (of Shooting Stars Mag) and her Local Tourist posts. […]
Glad you loved “Puffs”! I didn’t know there was a parody of Harry Potter! I definitely need to see “Puffs”!
