Late-night lj
Apr. 5th, 2003 12:34 amWell, not that late by some standards, but late by mine.
Utopia opening night: Not bad. I muffed some of the bassoon cues still, but eventually got the one in the first act finale that I was having trouble with last night. Smallish audience, but they seemed to enjoy it. I can tell I've been sitting in front of a speaker and with timpani next to me... my ears are tired.
Then on the way home, weirdness hits: I'm listening to the BBC World Service as they discuss the war, and suddenly their guest expert is one Joanna Spear... who is my cousin. I forget exactly how we're related, it's several levels distant, but I've met her. She was in Cambridge for a couple of years at the JFK School, so we drove up to NH to see my/our family there together, and she came to see me when I was in the grad school infirmary with chicken pox. I vaguely knew she worked on things that could be related to the war, but I certainly never expected to hear her voice coming from my car radio!
And now, because I'm not quite ready to go to bed: The Friday Five.
( Houses. )
