MooTour 2006 Reminder!
Aug. 1st, 2006 09:29 amA reminder about MooTour!
CowParade has finally come to Boston! The Bursteins have decided that we must see and photograph each and every cow before they disappear into the stockyard in the sky.
You are cordially invited to join us for MooTour 2006!
When: Sunday, August 6th, 11 AM until whenever. The weather prediction is for partly cloudy, so it looks like we will no longer need to worry about a rain date.
Where: All over Boston, but starting in Copley Square (SE corner of Boylston and Dartmouth)
What: Join the Bursteins as we pursue our quixotic quest to photograph every single cow in the 2006 Boston CowParade!
Details: Starting in Copley Square, we will use the map of the CowParade to try to see and photograph every cow statue we can. We'll be doing a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes. If it's hot and sunny, you might want to wear sunglasses and bring a water bottle. We also might be jumping onto the T a few times, so if you have a T-pass that will be a big help. (Remember that on Sundays, a T-pass holder is allowed to bring a guest.) And if you want your own pictures of the cows, make sure to bring a camera as well.
Special bonus: In order to fortify ourselves before going on the MooTour, we'll be enjoying brunch at Rubin's Kosher Deli. If you wish to join us for brunch, please let us know when you RSVP, so we can make an appropriate reservation.

Musical Meme
Aug. 1st, 2006 04:35 pmThis is a twist on the Letter Meme. Instead of coming up with ten items for a certain letter, you come up with five song titles for a certain letter and explain why you picked them. If interested then leave a comment. I'll give you a letter. You post this blurb in your journal along with your list.
cicirossi gave me L.
-- Leaving on a Jet Plane: I've always liked this song, from the time I was little. It's a little melancholy, but I like it anyway.
-- Luck be a Lady: Not my favorite song from the "Guys and Dolls" soundtrack, but the one that fit the letter. :-) I love that soundtrack and frequently have it on the mental radio.
-- Lonesome Road: I first heard it a cappella, and it's just one of those songs that's stuck with me.
-- Let's Get Away From It All: Again, first heard a cappella, and I like the idea of a song about GAFIAting.
-- Living in Fast Forward: A country song; Kenny Chesney, to be specific. The inspiration (in the other half of the brain) for the monolithic project
eal and I are working on.
***
Songs rejected from the list, for various reasons:
-- L'cha Dodi
-- From "1776," The Lees of Old Virginia (I would've had to do it as "Lees of Old Virginia, The")
-- Because I'm odd, I considered and rejected (along the lines of the above) Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry," to be filed as "Laundry, Dirty."
