Yes, I do find Bugs Bunny sexy when he dresses in women's clothing, and I also like the serious and tragic Shostakovich, which is probably not a surprise to you.<BR/>Thanks once again for the ticket. I feel somehow more real.Patrick J.

Look for a shining bald pate and that's probably me. And as far Ms. Grimaud's outfit, her back was completely exposed which was sort of cool because you could actually see her muscles at work in the rather athletic concerto. I guess Thursday's outfit looked like something designed for women wrestlers on "Project Runway," according to Rita Hao over at SFist.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-58815448596338286992008-02-13T11:43:00.000-08:002008-02-13T11:43:00.000-08:00Re: the picture of Ms. Grimaud, two things:1.

To be all gay, the gentleman 4th from left (with glasses) and the guy tilting his head with the architectural haircut are kinda handsome.

I didn't think Grimaud was too bad, but her playing certainly had a blurry quality to it that I couldn't quite appreciate.Nikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357685620487678217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-43642051076718817462008-02-11T13:33:00.000-08:002008-02-11T13:33:00.000-08:00That's such a cute picture of you!That's such a cute picture of you!Beth Spotswoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035619705636677614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-25251926238090802352008-02-10T22:43:00.000-08:002008-02-10T22:43:00.000-08:00I went last night, not Friday, and thought it all ...I went last night, not Friday, and thought it all very good. I know the Bartok piano concertos well but this was the first I've heard any of them live. Liked Grimaud and her lyricism a lot.Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.com
