"I belong in Anatevka..."
Feb. 3rd, 2003 03:37 amWell, it's over and I'm exhausted. Fiddler on the Roof ended its four-day run Saturday. ( Read more... )
Others complained that they weren't allowed to talk or look bored, but I loved being in the orchestra, on stage. ( Read more... )
Aside from those times when I was too busy playing, I got to see the entire show (albeit from the back). As with most shows in which I've played, I never tired of watching it or listening to it. ( Read more... )
The production team made quite the effort to get the details of Ashkenazy Jewish costume, manners, and (name-)pronunciation as accurate as possible within our limited means. ( Read more... )
My accordion-playing abilities, though by no means flawless, have improved noticeably. If you have an accordion and want to learn how to play it decently, I recommend getting yourself into a Fiddler on the Roof orchestra. I hope I get around to practicing some more in future so I don't lose the momentum.
After much deliberation and wandering about town at night, I attended the cast party for about an hour. I am sick, just like at least half the people in the Society. And I have class tomorrow. Now I'll have to spend the next month (at least) trying to catch up to all the work I missed.

G&G has taken up almost all of my "free" time for the past few weeks, but a few other things did happen...
I witnessed an installation of Debian on to a housemate's computer. (He's much more of a bona fide geek than I could ever be. But then again, I don't have a second hard drive to risk messing around with.)
I showed up for the first "chorus" rehearsal of the Opera Workshop of Vaughan Williams' Riders to the Sea. ( Read more... ) The word... oh... "intimated" springs to mind.

I'm really out of the Whoser loop. I didn't know that Bix had posted photos of WhoserCon 5 until I did a Google search a couple hours ago. (Cutest photo of Emile, ever...) Now that I can't afford to attend WhoserCon this year, I'll probably be pretty well out for good.
*sigh*
Ah, the memories.
