I remember playing the opera in my dorm room (the old Supraphon Gregor recording, still my favorite of it, with the MacKerras alongside) and people who had no interest in classical kept stopping in and asking what it was. My thesis in illustration ended up being designing covers for classical LP's -- in 1984, unfortunately, just as CDs were coming in. 2) Apropos covers/posters, my first theatre poster since my days at the Sugan theatre is going up soon, I designed the poster for the Huntington's upcoming production of "She Loves Me" -- the difficulty was, being based on a Lubitsch film, it couldn't look too American. 3) Lastly, next time you're in town and near the BestBuy side of Newbury Street, check out Orpheus Collectibles (corner of Mass. and Comm. avenues, across the street from the Eliot Hotel). They have scads of collectible scores as well as the best selection of used classical CD's -- but in Boston these days, that isn't saying much.robertbonottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00966573237209625620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32354680.post-60366917260840215732008-01-22T17:03:00.000-05:002008-01-22T17:03:00.000-05:00I was going to say, about the absinthe.

If you're in the Bay area, check with me for a sample.Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32354680.post-51249742205186776312008-01-22T16:22:00.000-05:002008-01-22T16:22:00.000-05:00You should probably be alerted that we just got a ...You should probably be alerted that we just got a metric fuckton of pre-1900 music at the library. We can't use most of it since it's turning into dust but if you want to look through I'm sure the librarians would be more than happy to.<BR/><BR/>Also, real absinthe is <I>totally</I> legal again.
