mamajoanI realized that I posted this elsewhere but not here, as I had intended....
I am very very very very very (or, as a certain 5-year-old I know would say, "wicked") bitter about this spring's concert cycle for my choir. I have been a member of this choir for something like 14 years (with occasional breaks while I was in college or whatever), and our choir director is a close friend of my mom's, and for at least the last five or six years I've been nagging him to consider doing Mozart's Requiem for our spring concert.
This year, at last, he decided to do the Mozart Requiem. To make it even more interesting, he decided to do the Levin version, not the Sussmayr version. (You don't have to understand that, just realize that it's a different version from the one I know, and possibly a better/more interesting one.)
And then what does he do? He goes and schedules it for Memorial Day weekend.
Yes, that would be the same Memorial Day weekend on which WisCon is held.
Yes, that would be the same Memorial Day weekend on which the Oberlin class reunion is held.
On the bright side, now I don't have to agonize over whether to go to WisCon or the reunion.
On the downside, ARGH!!!!!!!!
Every year I say "I'll go to WisCon next year, really, I SWEAR." I've never yet actually made it to a WisCon.
As for the reunion, to be fair it isn't even my class year. It's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tiggrrl's and munoz's and retch's and a bunch of other people whom I would really love to see, though.
Really, words cannot express how upset I am about this. Of course, it's been a few months now since I learned the bad news, so the upset feelings have had some time to mellow, but still. Every time I think about it, I get upset all over again, and sad, thinking of all the cool people I could be seeing at either WisCon or the reunion. :(
I do think, though, that once I get past that stuff, it's going to be a great concert. I do so love the Mozart Requiem. Sigh.
