Cheers, Johnnie!

Ron Jeremy!

Well not anymore, I shaved it all off!

[Bogey]

It is indeed. 
Impractical for some situations like the theatre, as it's big, but for going to work etc its perfect: comfortable, never blows off, warm but breathes, keeps rain and snow off the glasses.

I bought a fedora in December. My specification was something Robert Mitchum would have worn in 1948. That had to be translated to Bogart for the hat store guy  But the goal, 90% achieved, was an Out of the Past Mitchum hat.

My 50th is in March.  Considering a fedora for my gift of gifts.

Peering over the level-three box before today's performance at the Philadelphia Orchestra. Wagner/Berg/Ligeti/Debussy on the program. I loved the seats. I was able to rest on the balcony and look straight down.

Great photo.

Looks like you were almost behind the orchestra!  How was the sound?  I've sat behind the Colorado Symphony at Boettcher Hall here in Denver, and the sound was distinctly unbalanced...

Great photo.

Thanks! My friend took it.

We were behind the orchestra. Unbalanced for sure (especially in the Berg VC), but I don't care so much about sound at a concert. I figure that I can hear something as many times as I want on a CD. It is more interesting for me to see the orchestra.

Depressingly thin audience. Ligeti

Well, this is even before much of the orchestra arrived. There were more people than I thought would show up once it got started.

I will say that the Atmospheres seemed to intrigue the row of older folks sitting on our tier (the ones who I thought would be covering their ears for some parts -- and who also looked unhappy/bored during the Berg VC). They were enthusiastically looking over the edge (no, not contemplating jumping ) and seemed to be enjoying it. That (happily) surprised me.

The audience looks like Guess who- board game.

I spent years often hearing from the choir stalls and becme adicted to the immediacy of the sound. I know it was all 'the wrong way round', but I felt as though I was in the middle of the orchestra and enjoyed seeing the conductors in action.

That's a big part of it, too. I played in orchestra for many years (throughout grade school and first two years of college) so I like being on the other side of the conductor. Plus, I love balconies. The 'orchestra' (floor) section is always the most boring for me (even though the sound is probably best there).

In bright sunlight, I cannot well see the screen, so this sort of shot is hit-or-miss. Hence my great, improbable luck in catching the missus upstairs, and apparently stepping out of my hair ....

damn! with slightly browner hair, and less on top,  you'd be smokin'!

I'll leave this up for a little while...



Yes, that's my real nose/ear/face etc. Between the ages of about 18 and 34 I'd an amateur career as a boxer. I still spar on occasion and over the last couple of years I've had a couple of 'White Collar' bouts - but at middleweight now rather than the welterweight I used to be.
Also, this photo was taken at work which accounts for the severe crop; I don't like to be photographed with a camera and/or colleagues.

Yeah, I remember reading about you in Life is Elsewhere.

The photo looks like an unused shot for an early Tom Waits album cover.
