So. Long.

Well our concerts are now history. We didn't exactly cover ourselves with glory, but there were a few high points. Singing well is ridiculously difficult. The weather has turned warm and neither venue had the air conditioning on, so we, and the audiences, were quite warm.
F came home for the concerts (plus she needed more contacts). The concert ran 2 hours and 45 minutes. Since the concert started at 8 pm, that meant that we didn't finish till quarter to 11. Helping load the risers meant we didn't get home till 11.15.
F wasn't here. Aww... but- she never said she was spending the night. I dug my cell phone out of my bag and saw I had a text from her.
"So. Long."
How apt.
We talked our fearless leader into cutting 4 songs, and she on her own cut 2 movements from the Benedicite. Our concert today lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes. Still long. Plus 2 different people fell off the stage, and one person had their wallet stolen. Oy.
After all that we needed a ride so headed out on our bikes. It was a beautiful evening and we had a really nice ride.
