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:

bah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah, dah-dah ::BOOM::, bah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah, dah-dah ::BOOM::, ba dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah daaaaah ::BOOM::, bah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah daaaaah

HOW THE 1812 OVERTURE WENT ON THURSDAY:

bah dah dah dah dah ::BOOM:: dah dah dah, dah-dah, bah ::BOOM:: dah dah dah ::BOOM:: dah dah dah dah, dah-dah, ba dah dah dah dah ::BOOM:: dah dah dah dah dah dah ::BOOM:: daaaaah, bah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah daaaaah

...

::BOOM::

the rest of the concert was good though. i never knew tchaikovsky wrote marche slave. i played that in grade school.

also, fireworks are preeeeeeeeetty.
