I had my first madrigirls rehearsal last night. Leading up to it I suffered a few doubts, both wondering if I was up to the challenge as well as wondering why I was giving away yet another night of my week (I'm getting awfully booked up!) and all for one concert. All such doubts were banished by the end of warm ups, let alone rehearsal. Oh, man, how I've missed this! Not that I've ever done anything quite like it--and I think Madrigirls promises to be even better than most of the choirs I've been in. Such fun music (much of it medieval, yay!), such good singers, and friendly directors.
Afterwards a few of us went to the Post-Grad Lounge for drinks. That was fun. Turns out they all knew what role-playing was (Stop and marvel. Every single one knew what it was.) and several had tried it. They talked lots about local (and not so local) folk bands and singers and I wished I had a better memory for names; it'd be fun to try some of the music. But oh, well. I had skipped dinner so my one pint had me pretty sloshed and memorizing band names was therefore well beyond my capabilities. However, I learned the names of all three people there which for me is quite a feat.
Well, I have made a grand discovery. My old union, the Queen Margret Union, now has free wi-fi! Well, I'm sure I'm supposed to be a student or something, but surely "visiting scholar" is close enough. Anyway, this makes the internet issue easier as I am bound to have an easier time finding space and a power outlet here in the QM than I was having in the library, but I don't have to watch the minutes like in a cafe... although there is a cafe in here, should I want a coffee or mocha or something. Mmm, mocha.... Bye now!
