Whee and SQUEEEEEE!!!
Nov. 5th, 2006 09:11 pmThe audience loved my piece!!! One woman - not related to any of us, a genuine independent audience member - asked if there was a recording of it anywhere, so she could buy it!! Wheeeeee!! It's not sophisticated music, it's just shameless audience pandering, but it's apparently successful audience pandering, and people want to hear it again!! EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
The three days spent at the "Stitches" knitting conference were totally exhausting; I slept 18 hours straight last night. I cannot do 8 hour days several days in a row any more, and this was proof of that. I even slept through a couple of meals. I did have lots of fun at the conference, and learned several new tricks. And bought a whole bunch more yarn; several vendors whom I had purchased a bunch from last July, at the Knit and Crochet show in PA, recognized me this time around - hey, I know a bargain when I see it, so I looked for the same vendors, why not! I treated my niece H to a day of classes again this time, and she now knows how to use double-pointed needles and knit in the round; she got about halfway through a hat in her class, and expects to finish the hat to give to a baby at said baby's christening party next weekend.
My dad's in the hospital; of the quintuple bypass that he had last fall, three of the arteries are completely blocked up already, so he needs another bypass. It's scheduled for Wednesday. We're going to go visit him at the hospital on Monday. A lot easier to visit him in DE than up in Maine!! He's in good spirits (it's difficult to picture my dad in other than good spirits; he is incredibly good-natured, especially considering how much assorted crap he's had to put up with over the years) but the surgery WILL be serious.
Now to go catch up on all of you; I haven't read anyone's posts for four days now.
ETA: the concert was recorded by the venue it was in (The Hebrew Home of Greater Washington), but whether we will be able to get ahold of a copy of that recording is still up in the air, since it's not a professional recording nor an organization that exists for the purposes of distributing recordings. If they do allow the band to get copies of the recording, never fear, you will all be forced to listen.
