Piano Tech Dress rehearsal of Don Giovanni
Things are going really well with Don Giovanni. We moved from our rehearsal location (an elementary school gym) to the performance space on Saturday. Though the hall is relatively new and looks beautiful, the acoustics are terrible. Evidently, the contractor used sound-absorbent rather than sound-reflecting brick. OOPS ( Read more... ) -
As terse as I get
My most recent Facebook status:
Paul is pleased Tanglewood is done, sad Houston said 'no', surprised MnOp said 'yes', disappointed Fred didn't get the job, hopeful for the future, and REALLY FULL.

Trying to avoid teh sick
I got home on Friday night. Had great conversations with Mom, mage_girl and loreleiskye in the car on the drive back. Got in about 10. Crashed about 10:30.
