180

okay… so i’m over myself from the last entry.

i’m not sure i ever mentioned that i was the cover Rodolfo for Skagit Opera’s La bohème they are doing next weekend.  really, i’m only there to sing in the pit if the other Rodolfo loses his voice, or if he gets sick.  i can’t make the staging rehearsals because of Seattle Opera YAP, but i can make the performances.  my friend runs the company and is giving me $300 to be prepared.

now, i recently met the Maestro, someone i had met in the near past.  his name is Allister and i love him cause he’s British and hilarious.

well, we immediately hit it off and i said that i’d like to get together with him to find his tempos and we could discuss the show.  then i also figured, sure… what the hell…

"do you do conducting lessons?"

so he called me today and asked who they were for.  i mentioned that i loved conducting but that i knew very little about it and want to do more.  so he, on the spot, asked if i wanted to be his assistant for the show.  he doesn’t have one and taking notes has been a serious pain for him.  needless to say i JUMPED at the chance. 

he made sure to let me know that i wouldn’t be paid for this, and i was sure to let him know that all i’m looking for is insight, not money.  so… i’m super excited.  lol

– noah

p.s. also looks like we’re going to get a kitten and its gonna stay downstairs with me. 😀

p.p.s. yes, i said super excited.  get over it!
