awwww. mr. manfre's small child is running around, asking people if he called them by accident. so cute.
yesterday was very exciting, as we went to the mann center with mrs. p to hear/see tchaikovsky and fireworks. sadly, though, the philadelphia orchestra's version of the 1812 overture loses for the synthesized chimes. and although normally i would say that the only way to make tchaikovsky better is to add heavy artillery in the percussion section, in this case, it was rather detrimental. it was, however, amusing:
HOW THE 1812 OVERTURE NORMALLY GOES:
