(no subject)

For the third time (and the first that I requested), my sister bought tickets to a Wolf Trap concert of the National Symphony Orchestra in honor of my birthday. This was back in May, and we both forgot the date (last night) until it was almost too late. Thanks for the reminder, Dad.

I wrote before about the first two concerts. One was the music from five Hitchcock movies, accompanied by parts of the movies on screen. My sister and I both kept forgetting the music as we watched. Last year it was music from pre-1960 Looney Tunes shorts. Less distracting, but the cartoons haven't all aged well. That concert must have had the most children under 13 in attendance, but last night's audience may have had a lower average age: "Play! A Video Game Symphony."

( What better place to find a Halo Kitty shirt? )

I expect to continue coming to Wolf Trap concerts, partly for their own merit and partly for familial bonding. But I doubt if any more will appeal to me this much.

EDIT: I wasn't the only program reader to notice that the "Trigger" in Chrono Trigger had been misspelled "Tiger." Have to admit, that game could sell well.
