Jam-Packed Weekend
May. 15th, 2006 09:23 pmI had a very full and enjoyable weekend despite the near-constant rain (anyone else feel like they are in that Ray Bradbury story "All Summer in a Day"?).
I got off work early on Friday and thus got to spend a couple of very enjoyable hours talking with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gee_tar at the Diesel. Good conversation and good tea.
Then I went to see the Warsaw Village Band at the Somerville theater, along with Other Kenjari,epilimnion, and D. They are such a good group - they are good musicians and do the most amazing job of combining the traditional and the innovative. As an added treat from my perspective, they played "I've Slayed the Rye", which is the song I'm basing my string quartet on. The live version was rather different from the performance on their CD, which was fine by me, especially since it gave me a few ideas.
On Saturday, Other Kenjari and I went down to Connecticut for the Quest tavern night. We both had a good time at the game and also hanging out afterwards at the Athenian. We'll both be on staff for the fall game - I'm excited about it, since it looks like it will be really good.
Then on Sunday, we visited my parents for Mothers Day. I had tea and a good talk with Mom. I played my trio, The Floating Land, for my parents, and they liked it. It was good visit, but we couldn't stay too long because we wanted to get back to Boston before we'd end up driving in both the pouring rain and the dark.
