So I'm looking at the roundup for the scottsdale center for the performing arts or whatever it's title is, and look to see if there's anyone or anything I'd want to see. And then I see Yundi Li on the list for March 9th.
I, of course, flipped out like a fan girl. And, of course, I think of Mrs. Filer and my dad. My dad's birthday is Valentine's Day, but I think it's a great birthday present. I went into the den, called my dad a sucka (much to my mom's dislike, but much to my amusement, and much to my dad's confusion as to what the hell I called him), and dragged my mom out of the room. I tell her my idea, she tells me I have to talk to my dad about it. (Eh, ruined the element of surprise, but my mom likes for everyone to be in the know). He reacted better than I imagined.
There were two seat choices for the center section. Two seats in the middle of the front row, and two seats on the aisle on the right side of the second row. I really would've loved the first option, just so I could maybe glimpse at his hands, but my mom and I know that my dad hates sitting next to people (my brother's the same way, they're both anti-social like that). So the aisle option it was.
My mom wouldn't let me pay for the tickets, which I wasn't happy about. I have enough money in teh bank account for it, and that was my original intention.
Eh. She'll be paid back.
So on to Yundi Li.
24 year old classical music virtuoso. Won the International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition in Chopin's own Warsaw, Poland at the age of EIGHTEEN. The youngest winner ever of the competition, and the first in 15 years to be awarded it. If you would like to witness this dude's epic genius, www.youtube.com is your friend.
Personally, anyone who starts playing the accordion at age four, and wins the top prize at a kid's accordion competition at age five pretty much pwns at life. The man has won top prizes in competitions of stravinsky, lizst, etc. Incredible.
;ladskf;asdl I just want to see his hands FLY.
