Jonny is mad at me because I'm a flake

Jonny was supposed to visit me in Somerville, but I had to cancel on him, opting to go up to New Hampshire yet again and bang on a tree.

In other news, the Young Composers Festival is coming up, kids, and I'm performing a piece I'm composing for a prepared piano (piezo mics and Pure Data strike again!) The working title of my composition is "Motherboy XXX" (so far, that's all I've got— please someone help me come up with a better title?)

I'm nervous about performing: this will be the first time I've performed at a piano since 6th grade, when I had to play the national anthem infront of the whole school and I started trembling uncontrollably. But even then, I chugged through, sour notes and all. Fast forward 10 years and there I am with Vicki, making a fool out of myself and laughing when Windows crashes while I'm on stage. So yeah, whatever happens, it'll be an interesting performance. You should come down!
