Sunday's Yak

A little recap:

We were originally scheduled to be in the Grand Tier part of the Center for the Arts. Well, Sunday morning, we all got an email saying how that spot had been reserved for a reception for the afternoon's recital. We were moved to a wing of the lobby, where chairs and a podium were provided. No microphone.

Turned out that the lobby is loud. Voices carry. We started the reading trying to have our readers shout, project, or otherwise individually attempt to enhance their volume. It didn't work. So, Bill Miller was kind enough to convince the CFA staff to let us into the big concert hall. Then, we had ourselves a reading.

It was kind of an intimidating space to occupy, but the sound was excellent, although I personally do prefer the intimacy of locations like Jazzman's, the Bistro, or other cafe-type venues.

Pictures should be going up on the website within the next day or so. And I apologize for the quality, my little Coolpix doesn't quite have the zoom capacity a space like the Concert hall requires.
