I got a call a couple of days ago from my violin teacher, saying that the Ocean City Pops needed another person on their concert tomorrow, and would I play my three short pieces that I've been using for a lot of stuff recently (It Ain't Necessarily So, Liebesleid, and Love for Three Oranges)? Of course I said yes. It won't be with the orchestra, with a pianist, but still on the same concert. And sadly, the concert will not be at the beloved Music Pier, but actually in a different town altogether. Oh well.

In other good news, tomorrow and Sunday are the days of the much anticipated Kinhaven reunion! I can't wait, it's going to be so much fun to see all my friends again. Everyone is going to have a picnic in Central Park on Sunday, and a couple people who live in NY offered to have a sleepover the night before, Saturday. Somehow I didn't communicate this with my mom well enough, and she thought the sleepover was Sunday to Monday, so I accepted the O.C. Pops date, stupidly not realizing it was the same night as the reunion. It will be OK though, my mom is willing to drive from NJ to NY at night to drop me off at the sleepover. I was originally going to arrive there at 3 or 4, and I'm sad that I'll be missing that time, but what can you do?
