Music was the order of the day. I attended a concert at Princeton Day School, had dinner with some of Denise‘s friends, and attended a They Might Be Giants concert.
The concert at PDS was very interesting. Several extremely talented students from the middle school and high school performed pieces, mostly string, written by the school’s composer-in-residence. Some of the performers were as good, maybe even better, than some of the people I studied music with in college.
Later on, I had dinner at Winberie’s in Palmer Square with Denise and four of her friends I’m happy to call my friends as well. The food was excellent; I will go back there some time and explore more of the menu.
Following dinner and ice cream from the Halo Pub, those of us attending the concert walked to the theater. When the opening band, Common Rotation took the stage, I almost immediately recognized one of the singers as Warren from Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
It seems Adam Busch lives a double life—one as an evil actor playing an evil character, and the other as an evil musician playing in a really decent band. Following the openers, TMBG played another great show. I can’t get enough of these guys.
Yeah, that’s me, with Eric and Adam from Common Rotation. I’m such a dork, but a lovable, sexy and sociable dork. And modest, of course. There’s a similar photo including Denise, as well. You can find all my photographs from the dinner and the concert here.
I’d love to go to more concerts. Common Rotation’s or They Might Be Giants’, or any music, really.
Not all of the music was composed by Mr. Altman. There was some Bach, Puccini, and a bunch of other composers in there, as well. But yes, the kids are very, very talented. They almost always impress me.
That guy still owes me a robot.
So I take it Warren can sing in addition to his evil abilities?
