The Eastern Trombone Report

Since neither of us plays trombone, we did not attend the entire Eastern Trombone Workshop, but we did go to the Grand Finale concert this evening. Reading the program, once we were there, made us wish we had in fact gone to more of it; there were many sessions that sounded like interesting topics despite being addressed to (shudder) trombones. ( detailed music geekery follows )

We came home by was of the Silver Diner in Laurel, where apparently most of the teenage population of Laurel was having milkshakes and arguing. Incidentally, we had forgotten the GPS unit; we are *so* proud of ourselves for finding Ft. Myer without it, and for getting out of Ft. Myer and back to the Baltimore-Washington Pkwy without it! (The routes to and from Ft. Myer are not the same. It is apparently not possible to get heah from theah, even though you can get theah from heah.) Fort Myer, for those wondering, is right next door to Arlington National Cemetary, and can most easily be found by following the signs to the Iwo Jima Memorial.

Well, Sunday *we* have a gig to play, so I need to think about some rest. I'll report on that, plus the latest in science trivia/news, next time.
