Books, classical music, prone to hyperbole. Just moved back to Minneapolis after 22 years in DC and Iโ€™m loving it. Someone assumed I was straight, so hereโ€™s this:๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ. hogglestock.com

I donโ€™t have RI on my spreadsheet. Going to have to add it.

I will gladly get up at 4:15 AM if it means Iโ€™m home by 7:39 AM on a Sunday.

If we get stranded on the tarmac, Iโ€™m not sharing.

CLE is giving me a NY Penn Station basementy vibe.

Sometimes I feel like their approach is to keep books not sell them. (Still love the place.)

The meme with a guy and two girls. The guy is labeled 1:59 AM. His girlfriend islabeled 2 AM. The cute girl coming the other way is labeled 3AM.

My favorite part is hearing that many singers sing so quietly.

I thought the Elgar was amazing. I had never heard it live. And the Kurtag was short. On Thursday the Schumann started off a bit sloppy imho.

They did face the audience at the end of the concert. Now Iโ€™m going to have to pay attention to other orchestras. Maybe they all do that.

Maybe they are afraid that George Szell will slap them from beyond the grave if they crack a smile.

Iโ€™ve been to 7 concerts in 6 cities in 3 weeks.

I think the @clevelandorch.bsky.social is the only orchestra that didnโ€™t face the audience when they stood to acknowledge applause.

(Of course they dazzled when they played, but very dour otherwise. They looked like they had been held hostage.)

I was **100%** certain the program order would be the reverse of whatโ€™s printed.

Hello Bluesky! I am looking for anyone who cares about/writes about/thinks about Rebecca West.

I've been on a 10 year mission to get her a blue plaque in London and am finally allowed to re-apply after it was last turned down.

I'd welcome help building a strong application.

Thank you ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ™

What sucks is when you have to get that much plastic surgery for your job but you get fired and they donโ€™t let you return your face to the store
