Last night I played for a very few rich and "important" people at this lady's house in Eugene. Some singers from the Opera Workshop sang, I played for them, then we had free food and white wine. O and we were told to shmooze with the debutantes. The president of the University of Oregon can put away some wine, let me tell you. And as for my friend Rodrigo, he can put away the meatballs. I exaggerate not when I say he ate at least 25 meatballs. Bleck! At first i didn't want to play for this event, I got wrangled into it in the first place. But! At least I was dry and warm and well fed. Ah, Eugene. You have such splended weather. Today is 100% chance of rain (tonight too) and winds up to 50 miles an hour. A friend told me that on the coast the winds were getting up to 100 mph. That's 100 Miles Per Hour! Speaking of the coast...here is a link to a video that was shot about 50 miles down the road from Eugene in Florence. This might give you a sneakpeak at an Oregonian accent and how smart Oregonians are. (I say this sarcastically sarcastic, I think Oregonians are pretty smart, but weird to a degree)
