Crystal Ball 2009

Best ever? Yes.

My nerves were completely under control. Had 27(?) musicians in the pit. All competent and most happy. Some new faces in the pit--new friends who I was very glad to meet, including one who I hope will take over the leadership reigns next year. Most musicians stayed until the bitter end.
akitrom had my back several times during the ball

Excellent!

We missed it because during the day we bought Erich a new bike, and we had a dinner invitation from friends we hadn't seen in years and years, whom we ran into at Imre's memorial service last weekend.

"Imre's memorial service"? (I ask with dread.)

[elasait]

Yes, unfortunately. Imre passed away about two weeks ago--complications from pancreatitis, I believe.

Hooray!

It sounds like it was fabulous and that you were well supported. And how really really wonderful that you got to spend time with your apprentice.

Holy smokes! 27 musicians. I am SO over feeling guilty about not coming. (Although I still feel guilt about canceling out on my rider and crash space with only a week's notice.)
