On Tuesday, I went to NEC to see the Borromeo String Quartet perform Ligeti's 1st String Quartet. The way these early evening concerts are setup is that they say something about the piece, play it, talk about it at some length and then play it again. They said that once when they played it, a student in the audience had been writing a paper on it ( Read more... )

Thanks!

Sounds like a blast. :0)

You seem like one of those people who get themselves into fun and interesting situations...

I hope you get into NYU! I want to go to Columbia for Law School... (yeah, right) so maybe I'll see you down there. :)

Or, you know, I'll see you down there anyway.

Yeah, my buddy Dan, who was with me when I met Cassandra, is trying to get into law school at Columbia. He's so hardcore and I don't even know if he'll get in. It is no small feat.

You'll see me down there anyway, I'm certain.

you going to to see nevermore?

mechanyx December 8 2003, 10:58:25 UTC

That's the plan. I'm going out to Worcester earlier on the rail.

dirteecrayon December 8 2003, 10:59:52 UTC

how you getting back?

mechanyx December 8 2003, 11:03:03 UTC

The current plan is the commuter rail but I might crash at my friend's place in Worcester. It'll probably be the rail though. I've seen Dimmu a number of times so I wouldn't be disappointed if I missed the end of their set.

Nor will it overlap with your time in Chicago. ;)

For post-wisdom-teeth-removal, I heartily recommend picking up a case of Ensure. You'll probably be to miserable and drugged up to enjoy any kind of tasty liquid food for the first few days, though beef and chicken broth do wear kinda thin. And vegetable broth is purely vile. (I had all four removed at once; was flat on my back due to the vicodin for a few days)

mechanyx December 8 2003, 11:01:40 UTC

Yeah, and, uhh...I try to eat 5 full meals a day.

velocitymama December 8 2003, 12:31:03 UTC

Good to know... since I'm facing potential wisdom tooth extraction soon, as well. Yeesh, I'm (almost) 33. I shouldn't be doing this.

Great story Rich. If you have the notes on that talk you gave I would love to get a look at them.

Also it's great to hear you landed that new 7-string. No, it's not gonna bug me as much as it will some people because I don't have perfect pitch (I'll still complain though, on principle).

mechanyx December 8 2003, 10:57:23 UTC

I do, and I already posted the link...twice :)

www.richhorner.com/shostakovich

Yeah, Bill exists merely to phuq with ppl with perfect pitch.

I'll try to send you that email today that I promised you two days ago.

commiertbstrd December 8 2003, 11:41:38 UTC

I neglected to check out the link earlier. Right now I'm on my way out again so I'll look later.

Yeah, if you don't send me the email just gimme a call around 11:00ish, I'll be home then.
