Kimmie and I saw Mates of State and their opening band, Aqueduct, after Kimmie left the Tech basketball game. Having heard neither group previously, I found Aqueduct more "entertaining" than "talented", but I liked Mates of State, which consisted of a wife playing the electric organ and piano and of her husband drumming. They both sang.
Watching passionate people perform set me in a better mood than I have been in for some period. I shall have to journey forth in such manner again soon, though I fear I might have fun.
Last night after work I attended some informational meeting to join Gamma Beta Phi. Naturally someone asked about minimum GPA maintenance, to which one of the club officers replied, 'Oh- we've never checked it. The honor is in getting in.' Ausgezeichnet, thought I, an honors society that does not necessarily require one to be an honors student. This is perfect for me. The rest of the assemblage murmured concurrence, and we thus skipped to the tables to pay for dues and our very first t-shirts (which was all I truly desired from the deal).
Hopefully we can watch more Sesame Street in German today.
