holidays and celebrations

music things


the past week has included a variety of memorial concerts for 
the molly mobile 
{in case you dint know, she's less a wheel and a seat and i'm surely not ready for a unicycle in this life}
the first was the music of steve reich.
he is the guy in the middle with the baseball cap and his eyes closed because it was either this picture or a picture with mrs. cellist bending over and caleb craning his neck to look at imaginary things.
if you haven't heard the music of steve reich, you should because it is the musical equivalent to everything your parents did in the 70s. 
and then a performance of the entire daphnis et chloé went down and if mr. stick wasn't such an emotional tiger when he conducted i would have fallen asleep in between my 1st and 2nd/last notes. no really. i mean that in the best way possible though because yannick nézet-séguin really is the real thing. like i wish the entire audience could have been seated behind the orchestra to witness what was happening on the podium at the third peak in the second suite. there are no words to explain how outrageous it was.
oh and then this happened today. 
because after all, it is a music school.
 it was like tuba christmas, jr.

the chrismikah list.


dear hannukah harry,
i know this is kind of late and all, with the eight days starting tomorrow,
but maybe you can talk to santy claus and work something out for christmas?
i've been good, i prom.
ok here's what i want:

1. to be able to eat corn on the cob without anything getting stuck in my teeth
2. more main streets, more downward hills, more bike paths... the molly mobile would lurve you
3. for my entire family to be uprooted and placed in a cute little suburb, just outside of new york {new jersey is ok, i guess... but maybe we can discuss westchester? just let them be close, please!}
4. the essential accoutrements for the molly mobile. because i've been riding this whole entire time without tassles and a wicker basket. blasphemy, i know.
5. el bulli
6. a news site that will deliver just the facts and all the facts. 
so that i can really know what animal parts are going in my hot dogs...
7. world peas and happy potatoes! 




ok, hh, you down with that?
thanks.

xoxo
