Yes, it's my wife's birthday (she turns 24!), so we'll be celebrating that. Also some of my former co-workers are throwing a 80's themed Halloween party. My wife and I are going to attend. I am dressing as Beetlejuice and she is going as Lydia.
APBM,
What was your favorite candy as a kid?

It believe was actually a Houston Symphony concert, some months back. They performed Beethoven's Eighth Symphony, which, of course, was excellent, followed by a choral work, a mass by a Mexican composer, which was fun, but very odd. One of my friends who is in the Symphony Chorus referred to that piece as a "Hispanic Drag Show". Part of the Sanctus was based on "La Bamba".
Arne Purcell Beethoven Mendelssohn,
Same question (I expect the answer will be a little different from mine! )

Cruefest 2 at Darien Lake. Motley Crue, Godsmack, Drowning Pool and Theory of a Dead Man on the main stage, a bunch of bands I'd never heard of on the second stage. Godsmack ruled, Motley Crue was...mediocre, I guess. They insisted on playing the entire "Dr. Feelgood" album instead of songs I actually knew, which I wasn't too happy about. The songs I did know were okay, but they're starting to show their age I think. Vince Neil sounded like crap.
I'm going to see Metallica next month. APBM, looking forward to any upcoming concerts?

No contest... Othello. I've always thought he was the most tragic of Shakespeare's heroes, driving himself mad with nothing but an imagined betrayal. In addition, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Iago is my favorite villain in literature... ever.

No, but not for lack of trying. At various times I attempted to learn cello, violin, recorder, guitar, piano and organ. None were that successful, though I can play the last two well enough that if I practice a bit I can sort of make music. At one point, someone said, "Why don't you just sing in the choir?" and that's where I found my musical niche.
