| The Halloween concert was SO MUCH FUN! i had never seen so many
cute kids dressed up in costume... 2 asian mighty morphin power rangers
in the front row w/ their mom and dad that i couldn't stop staring
at. A handfull of little kids that wanted my autograph after the
concert:) ...for the first time i can honestly say that the
thought of kids actually excited me.
I dressed up as Storm from X-men. Full black garb, knee high
boots, cape, and white hair just like Hallie's. Walked onto stage and
got so nervous i forgot i was supposed to bow FIRST to the
audience... THEN face the orchestra to notion for tuning. i
freaked out... so i walked on stage... clapping got me all
excited... turned my back to the audience and got quite confused... was
mouthing, "am i supposed to bow?!?"... entire orchestra's laughing at
me. turn around quickly for a very unprofessional bow and well...
yea... i don't think i'll ever hear the end of that one...
luckily my solo went quite well. What a thrill! :) 2 more
kiddie concerts monday. Maybe i will look for white contacts and
ask to run onto stage from the back of the hall for the full effect of
Storm and freak the kiddies. we will see!

| looking for something to do this halloween weekend?
Saturday, October 28th 3pm at the Symphony Center
Hallowed Haunts, Civic Orchestra
with yours truly sitting Concermaster. i'll be playing a solo AND
dressed up in full costume. in fact, every single one of us will
be dressed up on stage.
Selections include Pirates of the Carribean, Flinstones, the Jetsons, and a mish-mosh of great Halloween music.
...not your typical classical concert!

| on another note:
me and my high standards and being too picky and
being scared
of commitment... so (call me crazy) i seriously think God was getting a
good laugh bringing me to Chicago to start over again. new place,
new people, new school, new perspective on life and the little things
that fulfill a person...
i'm trying to keep a very open mind about things. so
yea. i
guess you can say it's quite interesting and exciting... and at
the same time it scares the living crap out of me. there are days
(like last night) where you're surrounded by outgoing people, it's the
over-anticipated event of the week, it's not quite midnight yet,
everyone's vain as ever dressed to the T... things haven't even
officially started... and all you want to do is go home, curl up in
bed, and go to sleep... ...and so you do... to wake up the
next morning and think, "what was i thinking?"
i felt like sleeping. so i did... do i need to apologize?
big d
new city... new start... new haircut... and well... i realized AFTERWARDS that
short hair actually takes 15 minutes longer to "do" every morning which i would
MUCH rather prefer having spent sleeping... so i'm painstakingly growing it out
again... you would think i would've learned the first time
around...
