Long Overdue Post

As promised, here is the post I was going to make a couple weeks ago about the LI Philharmonic Concert at Heckscher State Park on July 17th. Yes, this means I actually have the program in my possession :-D

The decision to go to see the free concert was made pretty much on last minute. Our Saturday had opened up because of cancelled plans and we jumped on the chance to go see LI Phil. Last summer, NY Phil (who used to do this concert yearly) had to cancel due to financial reasons and the LI Phil was to play in their place, but that got squashed too, so we needed to jump on the Concert in the Park bandwagon just in case financial reasons keep them from holding the concert again.

I drove us there, but before we could go, we needed to pick up alorarose, chairs from my folks, dinner from Subway, and Nolan. It couldn't have gone any smoother than it did. :-D I really am getting the hang of this driving thing.

We got there with plenty of time to spare, donated $20 ($10 was the suggestion), and parked. We found a good spot on the lawn and settled in. vampedvixen joined us soon after. As the sun was going down, All the important people who made this concert possible were talking on the stage and then the concert started.

The first half was filled with greatness. ( Here's the list with commentary )

Then it was intermission. Awesomeness abounded. Much texting occurred to people who could not be with us that evening. ::Cough kradical Cough:: And then they made the anouncement that the Concert was about to continue.

( Part the 2nd of the concert with commentary )

All in all a great concert and a great night!! Couldn't ask for better weather either. Brian decided to drive home. Nolan went with Janet because she was low on gas. We took Danielle home. Only took about 30 mins to get out of Heckscher State Park, which was impressive considering the last time (in 2008) it took us nearly an HOUR.

This is too lulzy not to post about

I got the most AWESOME piece of junk mail today: I have been personally invited by Donald Trump to participate in a pagaent for the chance to be in the Miss USA pagaent.

Wait what?! Reading further... In order to be eligible I'd have to be between the age of 14 and 26. Awwwwww poopie! I'm too old.

If I were a year younger, I'd totally do it for the Lulz!
