How'd your Halloween concert go?

Everyone around me is falling prey to the sickness of early fall. I'll be getting my flu shot soon but some people are already getting the preliminary version of it already. Yucky...... I hope I can fend it off as valiantly as you. I guess tea is the trick. That, and an ostrich.

I'm glad you enjoy that change into fall. I'm usually a bit saddened by it, mostly because our Pacific Northwst summers are so short. They don't start in earnest until late June (when the rain finally lets up) and we're lucky if we get sunshine into late September. Rainfall starts again by mid-October and then it's soggy grayness until June. It comes with the territory, though. Live in Oregon. Get some rain. Nuff said. We take consolation in the fact that "Seattle has it worse". Whether that's true or not, I'm not sure, but it sounds good.

I'm still half way through the run of Antigone and it's going fairly well. I think the musicians and the actors have finally made peace with one another and with me. I don't feel the urge to murder any longer.....just injure. It's interesting, but they don't seem to make the same mistakes from day to day which tells me they know the shit, it's just that their heads aren't fully into it on a consistent basis. Is that weird???

Are you doing marching band with your high schoolers? THAT was how I always knew it was fall when I was growing up. When the band uniforms got checked out and the permission slips started flying around. The Halloween Concert with the symphony sounds cool. I wish our local wind symphony would do something like that. I think they're doing something Gershwin-y in October.... random!!!

Take care and enjoy that pre-fall weather!

I had never even seen The Big Lebowski until just this year, if you can believe it. Instant fave! I love that you guys have a whole festival dedicated to it. That...just....rocks.

Hey your Extra Action folks totally remind me of our very own March Fourth Marching Band. I always said that if SG had a marching band, it would look like March Fourth. Did they try to recruit you? Would you do it, if they did?

Glad to hear you found yours!!! Not so much luck on my end though. I called my credit card company and there were purchases made! Eek!

ya shyness? It stays!!! I am ok when I meet ppl tho. Like from here. I met a bunch of ppl in January and did ok, but it was exhausting. I like the internet becasue no one can see my face while talking to them!!

Thank you doll!
