We're Out of Control!

Ensemble 48 is on a roll. Our Halloween Nosferatu concert was great. We all had phenomenal costumes, the performance space was very cool, people showed up, and we played great.

I called my costume "Failed Bearded Lady," got the gorgeous dress at Goodwill for $5. I tried making my scarf into a bow, didn't work. It was freezing! Here's NUVO's review.
Then two nights later, Scott's rock band/solo project "Cheap Nothing" had its CD release party/concert, and I was his bassist. It was also a lot of fun, we had a few mistakes, but overall, another great time. Then last night was the Composers Orchestra concert here at Butler, which included a million student compositions, including my piece entitled "Brass Debate" for trumpet and french horn, as well as Scott's piece for Ensemble 48 called "Important Piece." There were so many other great pieces, one by Zane for Bassoon quartet, one by Josh involving flashlights and plexiglass, and a bunch of cool pieces by other senior composers. Great time had by all.
Other than that, I'm heading back to the East Coast on November 21st, spending that first weekend in NYC, then taking the bus back to Boston to have Thanksgiving with the clan and make fun of Jamie's belly. The show must go on!
