I Am Large, I Contain Multitudes

Rehearsals cancelled: 1, Family Opera. -- News flash, though: last week I found out which performances I'll sing my solo role in, #2 (which I believe indicates 7pm on Saturday April 1) and #7 (1pm on Sunday April 9). Mark your calendars!

Rehearsals modified: 1, Honorable Menschen moved (tentatively) to across the street from my house, instead of across the river at mangosteen's. Sorry, hon, but a total win for me. :-)

Other events modified: 1, our Tu B'Shvat Seder tonight. Just like last year (You know you're in Diaspora when...), we will have the doors open for the [local | brave | stupid] to come eat fruit and drink wine, but encourage the majority of people to stay home.

Sick Tigers: 1. :-( He woke up with the flu, or all the symptoms thereof. Poor baby. No thesis progress today. I am trying to push fluids on him.

Cups of tea consumed: 3.
Aging back issues of Sunday Boston Globe Magazine read: 4.
Cross-country skiers seen passing by front window: 1.

Maybe I'll take a shower or something.

... a.k.a. your chance to catch chanaleh, ladypsyche, the illustrious Dr. mangosteen, and friends in all their a cappella glory! (You don't have to be Jewish to attend, or to enjoy the concert. In fact, as a special interfaith treat, we may do the fabled "Maoz Tzur"/"Deck the Halls" counterpoint demonstration. Not to be missed!)

Honorable Menschen In Concert
Sunday, December 18th, 2005
2:00-3:00pm
Harvard Hillel (52 Mount Auburn Street, Cambridge)
Cost: $5 (suggested donation)

Chanukah is late this year. Or is it just that Honorable Menschen, Boston's premier Jewish/Israeli/World a cappella group, is a whole week early? We love Chanukah so much that we just can't wait to start celebrating through song.

So, before you de-wax last year's menorah and dust off those dreidels, please join us for our annual Chanukah concert on Sunday, December 18th at 2:00pm, at Harvard Hillel. We will be debuting several songs, including "Eretz Tzvi" and "Erev Shel Shoshanim". Look out for a couple of traditional Chanukah songs and some of our old favorites, like "By the Rivers of Babylon" and "Mitachat".

This coming spring, we will start recording our first CD, so we appreciate all your support. Please bring along family and friends, or anyone else who wants to get into the Chanukah spirit! Don't forget to check out our newly updated website, http://www.honorablemenschen.org -- we've even got a demo medley for you to enjoy. Feel free to contact us at info@honorablemenschen.org for more information.

Looking forward to singing for you, and Happy (early) Chanukah!

http://www.zipcar.com/about/jobs doesn't list these yet, but ( Zipcar needs IT help! )

Tonight: I dunno, actually. Maybe I'll make a pilgrimage to Trader Joe's, since I so rarely get the chance (and shopping for fun groceries is at least practical!).
Tomorrow: blood drive appointment; dinner with mangosteen.
Friday: goin' to New Hampshire (speaking of Zipcar). :-D
Saturday: canoeing the Saco River!
