I am overwhelmed at the multitude of postings. I feel as though I have been shamed b/c my blog has been forgotten this week while papers and exams occur. Loved the chalk drawings.
I too love the plethora of posts. Here is a token of my gratitude (done by some friends of friends. I thought of you and Lmiller immediately. If only they had two buildings . . .
Tell me please that you went here and defeated them all and that they then carried you about on their shoulders, loudly proclaiming you the Tetris master. Btw, I'm quite proud to have back to back comments involving cool things with Tetris.
Since you don't call, or write, or even respond to my posts, I have decided to make you jealous. Here is the excerpt from the Harvard News paper about how I spent my Sunday evening in Harvard yard:
As it turned out, Folds more than met expectations, interacting with the audience, jumping on top of the piano to lead crowd choral participation, and then, after playing for longer than scheduled, even returning for an encore.
Organizers estimated that over 7,000 gathered in Tercentenary Theatre, which was decked out with tire swings and balloons, to enjoy the Yardfest concert and carnival funded by University President Lawrence H. Summers' office.
After picking up a beach ball that flew onto the stage, Ben Folds announced that the words "Eliot House Sucks" were written on the toy and then incorporated them into his next song.
When his melodic rendition of "Eliot House Sucks" elicited negative reactions from some in the crowd, Folds switched the tune and sang instead, "Eliot House is not so bad, it's really okay....Don't make fun of it." Folds also encouraged the audience to chime in during some songs. The artist even climbed onto the grand piano and conducted a crowd of harmonizing undergraduates during one tune.
Following chants of "one more song" and "we want Ben" after Folds left the stage, the artist and his band returned for an encore, "One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces," parting with the words, "Kiss my ass, kiss my ass goodbye."
Very nice. You post more on this blog than I do. At least in the last couple weeks. I've been... busy. Or something. E-mail me and let me know when I should call you and I might do so. By the way, Ben Folds remains my favorite, against all odds.

Hack,

Yes, it truly was amazing.
