Potpourri

Just a few observations for the day:

• At RGMC rehearsal tonight, Nick (our director) was trying to get people to get their heads out of the music so he could play with tempos and such. At one point he lamented the fact that the chorus slowed down a section of one of the songs when he hadn't indicated we should do so, and said basically that we were all a bunch of "emotional sluts" who wanted to milk the emotion out of every last note. I think David (another bass who was sitting next to me) is all ready to have T-shirts made.


• Our producer (who is himself rather bearish in size although clean-shaven) was going over concert dress for Saturday: black pants, socks and shoes, white dress shirt open at the collar, no tie, white undershirt, and "I don't care what color underwear, or if you wear any at all." Later at break I remarked to jockbearwny, "I guess he doesn't want to see your LiveJournal then." ;-)


• Got home and gmjambear was watching Larry King talking with the parents of Jeffrey Dahmer. Immediately I launched into a chorus of Barbra: "People... people who eat people..." before he stopped me. ;-)

Busy weekend coming up: tech rehearsal tomorrow evening, my parents arrive Saturday afternoon, concert Saturday evening, spend Sunday with the folks, they go back Monday. I'll let you know how it goes when I get a chance.
