geeks no more!

"orchestra geek!"

"nerd"

"you play what!?"

welcome to the hippest thing since, well, 5th grade orchestra: the portland cello project! not only is portland's doug fir lounge urbanite experience extraordinaire (great fries), but it has air conditioning. and tonight it had a dance party. let's just say no one is making fun of these classical musicians anymore.

oregon symphony by day, rock fusion club by night.

author's note: violas still rock, however. a happy coincidence? a friend of a friend later, we were joined at the club by genius joseph, a violist from madrid. he gifted me with copies of his latest composition written for two violas! (which, by the way, i will be taking to the "violas are just better" sectional gathering at coffee cottage next week).

i guess we're still a bit geeky. but proud of it.
