Thanks Carl! for your generous hospitality, delicious food, and honkin' 64" Superbowl worthy mega-TV. And many thanks Bob for the afternoon walk and post game concert. Tooo fun.

Wow, I haven't been to the Shrine Auditorium in decades. I went with Sharon to see...

...whooo. Mahler's 8th, with 800+ singers and 200+ instrumentalists as the largest extravaganza in The Mahler Project where within a few short weeks, in honor of the 100th anniversary of Mahler's death, our Dudamel will have conducted all of Mahler's symphonies.

I didn't get a picture of (sigh...) our Dudamel (sigh...) but you can find plenty on the internet, adorable as he is.

(And you can find Marsha in the top row about 12 or so in from the left, adorable as she is.)

The music was a gasper and the venue was very cool, worth a look, but mostly what the Shrine reminded me of was how aMazing the acoustics are at Disney Hall.
