So. Saw the "Distant Worlds" Final Fantasy music concert on both Friday night and Saturday night. Yes I am a huge geek. They had a somewhat different repertoire between the nights, so it wasn't total craziness - they had the choir on Friday, and the solo guitarist / soloists for the FF6 Maria & Draco opera. Who amusingly enough were actual Met ( Read more... )

Out of the night and into the fight, it's Bixby!

Ah, Oberlin, land of more free concerts, lectures, & open houses than you can shake a stick at. For a college in Tennessee, they did have some authentic ( Read more... )

So, another interview in NYC that seemed to go well (they did talk with me straight for about two hours), not to mention an unexpected connection (the main interviewer went to the same college as my next door neighbor's daughter- well, one of them). The main guy I interviewed with was an insane genius who had apparently taken 26 hours one semester ( Read more... )
