likethebeerWent to a formal last night at Tal. w/mda. I wore a dress that I've had stuck in a garment bag since we moved in here (so, December 2001). Fortunately, taffeta, it appears, responds well to a hand steamer. And no one got too close to notice that the dress smelled like the upper floor of a garage (sort of like an attic, but a little more leafy). mda got to wear his tux, which is good, b/c I bought the damned thing for him and he's only worn it 1 time before. He jokes that he looks like a butler, but I think he looks quite good.
Our seating mates were good, for the msot part. Tom G and his wife, Mike the apprentice, who've I've found to be very sweet. There's this nutty woman who shows up every once in awhile at the end of the season. She'll loll around in the living room of the house, which we bring tours into. She's totally unexplained and totally unexplainable. She'll interrupt the tour guides w/god knows what. She was at our table last night, and it turns out that she lives in a FLLW home. I'd heard about her from the other way--someone who'd worked w/her, but obviously I had no way of putting it all together. Anyway, food was good, music was pretty good. Pachebel Canon in D major by Bach... I just spent 20 minutes looking for some post last year where I mentioned how much I disliked that song. Well, it simply shows up in too many weddings.
Then there was some poetry, and a Piazzolla piece with cello, piano and violin. He was an Argentinian composer, and I happen to know who he is b/c I'm [supposed to be] working on an etude by him. It's really cool and beautiful; a little challenging. Well, we're talking about me here, so that doesn't mean much. No, the [new] flute teacher has said that it's a challenge for everyone.
