Busy and FUN week. Oh, baby, oh

Hello world.

I guess this will be a long post. I have some cool things to talk about this week!! I think the best way to do this is to show you my schedule of busy-week-ness, with all sorts of great art activities. YEEEEEEE!

Monday (Oct. 12)- Saw the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra play. They are the fully professional orchestra for the city, and they play roughly 200 concerts a year. Normally, tickets are pretty pricey. But lucky me, I got to see them for free! (Yay, being a student). They played a concert in the big fancy auditorium on campus, and the audience was packed!

Tuesday: Class, homework, Sour Sitrus Society practice. Soon, I will be playing my clarinet at the Basketball games, in front the jam-packed dome full of basketball fans. Fun :)

Wednesday: “Pay what you can night” at the Syracuse Stage. The drama students are currently putting on the musical “Oklahoma!” and because I am a student, I got to name my price (kind of like with priceline, except they can’t tell me one dollar is too little!). It was an amazing show- those musical theater kids really can sing, dance and act their tails off!

Thursday- Opening party at XL Projects Gallery. I got paid to socialize with people involved with VPA while they snacked on guacamole and chips at the opening for “Faculty Show 2009”. I scored free snacks, a few connections, and I got to look at neat artwork all night! Later on Thursday night, I went over to my friend Mike’s house to sit in front of the fireplace (its getting cold here!) and eat smoked Salmon- his roommate is a serious fisherman and often feeds me fancy fish. Yum!!

And tonight? Friday. Once I am done with work at the XL Projects Gallery, I am going to cook dinner with another good friend. We both love to cook, and EAT. I am thinking of making either Pesto something or maybe Chicken with Capers (I discovered capers recently, because they are in TONS of the recipes that I have been wanting to try). I still don’t know what they even taste like though!! Cooking in my apartment is certainly an adventure.

Wow. Busy week! But at least it was full of fun arty things, and not being bored in front of the Tele!
