I was told about this yesterday evening and I just had to share. The Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra doing flashmobs throughout the city. I think I like the Ravel the best simply because the train station has better acoustics.

For this week Alexander Panizza performs Astor Piazzolla‘s Tango Rhapsody.
For this week’s Rhapsody we return to Franz Liszt and his Hungarian Rhapsodies. This is number five, nicknamed the Héroïde-élégiaque performed by Roberto Szidon. There is also an orchestral version but at the moment I find myself liking the simplistic haunting quality of the piano here. It’s not quite as “bangy” as a lot of Liszt’s stuff.
Well this was a very interesting night. I was finishing some last minute up a last minute upload of material (made last minute due to the cable being out for about two hours) When I saw that the latest upgrade of Comicpress was ready for instillation. So I got straight to setting it up. minutes later I found out I’d missed a very important detail. Which if I had bothered to have read what Philip M. Hofer had said about it on his page I would have known that Comicpress 4.0 was not actually a upgrade of Comicpress but a relabeling of the theme that has been slowly replacing it. Since I missed this point I was up until three in the morning reconstructing this page. And then today I spent way too much time separating all of my comics from my blog posts since a mistake I made around two o’clock when processing the comics for the Comic Easel plugin kind of mixed them all together.
Anyway I have the page mostly working and mostly presentable but I have a long list of fixes left to do. But it could have been worse and technically this is something I would have had to do sooner or later so at least it happened during a long weekend where I would be having hardly any traffic anyway.
Keep in mind, for all my complaining this is all on me. Phil, ignore my crankiness, you’re doing a great job keeping this thing current and it is appreciated!
Well here we have the very last sketch in my current sketchbook. I went through this in just six months (a time period that used to be my average time but I’ve been going through them a lot slower lately mainly since I have more that one) anyway this is from Patrick Rothfuss’s book signing at U-Books. I’ve been enjoying his Kingslayer Series. (I’m halfway through Name of the Wind) So I was lliking forward to it.
There was a very good crowd and and Patrick put on ar very good Q-A session. It was very informal and chatty, what he called the difference between a “first date” and “fourth date” (First date is for showing you’re not a sociopath) an very enjoyable. Regretably he’s very strict about not revealing spoilers and he certainly didn’t spill tonight.
A very happy birthday to the late, great, Charlie Parker. To celebrate, join us with this recording of Billie’s Bounce.
