Feb. 19th, 2020 02:24 pmCapricon was last weekend. We went over Friday AM, and returned Sunday PM. It was a con, as one would expect. Saw people we knew, met others, got to chat with people we don't see often enough, etc. I was unable to duck a GT key this time, but as I've been closing the room for the last four/five cons, it's not really a problem. Just meant that there was a better chance that the commuters could get their stuff out of the room if they were leaving after midnite or so -- when the last-to-bed keyholder is gone to bed before 1am, it's hard on the commuters. (We closed the room shortly after 1 on Friday night, when the last of the commuters got their stuff out; and it was closed about the same time on Saturday night as the 'last person out, close the room'. Then KN and I (we'd been doing the hall party thing) went in to clean and people showed up and so we didn't "officially" close it until after 3.)
No FCB rehearsal on Monday due to school holiday. Someone who was out on Monday night said it was pretty slippery getting home, so I'm not sorry I was able to stay home. Last night's LCCB rehearsal was pretty hard - one more rehearsal before the concert on Feb 29. I missed the fall in the first run of UP because I missed a page turn. Got it every other time we ran that portion, and he didn't go back just for me.... DS (the other bari player) hasn't got the timing on it right, and is playing it with the tubas, who have it right after we do. To be fair, I was playing with the tubas too, until DM (the director), who has the score, pointed out that it was BSax on 3-4, tuba on 1-2; not the 'everyone on 4-1' like we'd been playing it.
The mystery of the work trucks has been partly solved -- while we were gone to Chicago (and in the days since we got home), they've put a few more of the isolators on the lines, added the pulleys to all of the south side topline wires that I can see, and put orange warning wrap on the residential service lines so they don't get hit by work trucks. Other than that? still don't know actually what they're going to be doing. The topline pulleys are spinning, so they're pulling some wires there, but dunno why they'd put isolators on only some of the actual power transmission lines.
Chilly, but sunny, so the black cat has been outside quite a bit today. He's inside now, as the wind has come up, and it's not *that* warm in the sun.
