We're planning a trip to New York come Christmas Holidays, and we can even stop off in Cleveland, Ohio because I'd really like to try and get in contact with Harvey Pekar :D (Although VERY unlikely, it'd still be nice to see the city and send a friendly letter to his publishers.) Other than that, I might see the American Squirrels (^.^) which are apparently very cute and docile.

Right now, it's school >.< Which annoys me greatly.

At school

Exams >.< Grrr

Everything's going pretty okay it's just so frustratingly tedious! It never ends! More and more paperwork. Argh >.<

Well, that's all for now, holidays are coming up soon; I'll write in when they get off their asses and come rescue me >.<

Performance assessment in Music went well, I played Bartok's first 'Rumanian' Folk Dance, "Stick Game." :)

Things've been good, still haven't cleaned up my room yet XD But overall pretty nice. Exams soon, that's a problem.

Happy Easter everyone, btw! ^^
I got a few eggs myself ^^ Was really nice :D

:D *glomps person reading this* :D


P.S. In Mein Kampf, Hitler REALLY babbles on a lot. You'd think he could say something once but nooo he has to say it a thousand times, lined with haphazardly organised racial epithets. *rolls eyes* Makes you doubt if any of the Nazi Party itself actually READ the garbage in the first place. Probably just went along for the power.

Ornette Coleman Concert

Wonderful experience, simply marvellous.

At first I was worried the concert wasn't going to have enough of an audience to make it worthwhile, Ornette Coleman's free jazz being not entirely everyone's cup of tea... but the auditorium was packed! Filled to the seams with people! Of course, you see the people who came only out of curiosity leave in the first fifteen minutes, but even then the atmosphere was electrifying!

At the end of the concert he played my favourite song of his, 'Theme From A Symphony' not counting a following encore performance of Lonely Woman, his classic ballad.

Even after the concert, I waited round the Stage Door to see if he'd come out, while there I met a fellow Avant-Garde fan as well, who segued into a conversation by noting he'd brought along the same boxset hoping for Ornette to sign.
He was a 40 something Jewish man (the headcap and everything) and we talked a long time about our mutual interest in free jazz, we both agreed when we play it for our friends and family that it generally ends in disaster XD
He was a big fan of Cecil Taylor, while I was actually more partial to Sun Ra myself, and then he said he'd seen Sun Ra in concert at a University show in the 70s :| Amazing! (That's during one of Sun Ra's best decades)

Then, after waiting for some time, Ornette Coleman came out the door!!!!!!!
He's about 76 now, and quite stiff in his movements, almost arthritic, but as the concert attested his skill with his instrument(s) had never diminished!
He signed my boxset, as well as my newfound Avant-Garde Colleague's copy, and even posed in a photo with me, truly one of the most amazing nights I've ever experienced. ^^

Long live Ornette's legacy!
