Just not my cup of tea. And West Edge Opera pulls off extravagant productions on an absolute shoestring, so they are the opposite of expensive crap and more smart, penniless adventurer.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-68098280538108402112017-08-22T16:27:03.140-07:002017-08-22T16:27:03.140-07:00I'm wondering if people say they like things b...I'm wondering if people say they like things because they are impressed by the money and effort that go into them rather than in their intrinsic value. We have a lot of crap around here in the way of "art," but at least it's not expensive. <br /><br />Hattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621439195920479957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-68555646257530594282017-08-21T08:45:10.757-07:002017-08-21T08:45:10.757-07:00The butt-plug building, AKA the Salesforce tower. ...The butt-plug building, AKA the Salesforce tower.

And I didn't "resort to photography" over a difference of opinion, so much as I just liked the shot of you briefly worshiping the sun. In any case, our musical opinions differ at least half the time so I wouldn't be concerned about Merola tonight. It's all completely subjective.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-31234526898322872852017-08-19T10:25:50.610-07:002017-08-19T10:25:50.610-07:00I see you resort to photography when we have a dif...I see you resort to photography when we have a difference of opinion! I must confess that I have absolutely no idea what I was doing when you took that shot. Perhaps I was catching 40 winks to make sure I would have my full attention ready for the performance. I have to wonder what may happen if we differ over Merola tonight!Stephen Smoliarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689767135234237242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-63647968549536706372017-08-19T00:08:22.122-07:002017-08-19T00:08:22.122-07:00Anything for that gorgeous baritone.
