SR V: To boldly go where no room has gone before

I can tell you for sure, however, that there was not a question on Froese's dental hygiene. Okay, I'll try it later. I'm just not optimistic on my knowledge, especially after the last quiz.

If you're not optimistic about a TD quiz, then I don't think anyone else has a right to be.

The gig I had to do, of which I told you the previous days, turned out to be a fiasco. A sort of etno concert by some Aromanians, in which I and few other musicians from the Conservatoire were forced asked to complement, with some classical music playin'. But that just didn't fit. It was embarassing to watch the whole rubbish spectacle, and then try to please the fans of that with a different kind of music. And the organizers didn't tell us from the start what was the event. I thought it was something literary, that needed some relaxing music in between reading essays and debating, from what I've been vaguely told initially. Instead, it was commercial touring headaches-giving folk! What was my business there? Why was I humiliated in such a way? That sucks, dude. Sorry to hear that it didn't go well. Why did they not tell you what was really going on? Because they didn't get the full picture. They just replied to the invitation, talked to my teacher, who then summoned me along. How can you be so irresponsable that you combine a folk-sh*tty presentation with a classical music short recital? How?! After the guests finished their playback-demonstration, they wanted to go have dinner. Even they had no idea we were there to perform something, let alone the audience. Wow. Someone really screwed that up then. You'd think someone would have thought to pass that along...

I just ain't a wedding/shenanigan/commercial/cheap event keyboardist, that's for sure.

This event was rubbish, and it marked me pretty deep.

Agreed.

Yeah, I think I crushed alot of people's confidence after the last quiz. Drew did pretty well, though, and who's Branden and why does he currently lead? hm...

Yes. There are 13 questions though, so you have to compare the scores to the 1st quiz, not the 2nd. The absolute max score for the 1st and 3rd quizzes is 3,000. For the 2nd, it was about 1,650.

as a long time Caps fan.... devastated... but not surprised at the least.  The Penguins are the albatross around our necks hahha.  We'll get our Cup someday... soon...  they just have to learn to harness all that talent.. and learn to play as a team.  Good luck with the Hawks.. that will be a HELL of a series. Looking forward to watching that one.

I'll think of that alcohol next time.
