Sectionals tonight (ugh), in which Assistant (associate?) Director the Impossible to Please kept saying he was impressed and encouraged by our command of the (very difficul) music. Granted he was saying things like "you're definitely in the same ballpark as the right notes", but honestly, he meant it (and said it) in a good way -- he went on to say "it's just that you're not confident you've got the pitches right, and I can hear that; but you do." He repeatedly said that at this stage he worried we wouldn't have it even to the extent we do.
There were times most of the section was wrong, and I know I wasn't the only one singing (for example) the correct E natural while everyone else was singing the more logical E flat, but I was sure one of a very few. I'm always a little chuffed when I'm right.
A girl in my section, who often brings her knitting to show me and ask questions, and whom I'd taught some things about knitting socks, was so pleased with what I'd taught her and what she'd learned that she brought me a 450-yard skein of alpaca! So now I have more sock yarn! I'll have to be sure to wear the socks I make from it to rehearsal some time.
GOT A PARKING SPACE when I got home. I don't know if I've made it clear how fabulous (and unusual) it is to get a space when I get home after about 9:30pm.

And you'll post pictures of the socks, yes?
