Leon K. Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 You know what amazes me most bout Jill? How such a big voice can come from such a tiny girl o.0 Hax, I say. Quote
Leon K. Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Maybe I'll show up too.... If I did I'd probably drive this time. At least I could sleep in my car this time instead of under a freaking tree. Quote
Psychoscapegoat Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 That's why we need a Chicago meetup! I vote for a mid May meetup! As much as I would also love to attend, there is no way to make it from Chicago to Baltimore (especially with the snow outside) around that time. Good luck though! Quote
prophetik music Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 oh, man, i would totally come, if only to hear the schubert piece. i love that one. and ravel is awesome. but i can't, because of too much schooling going on =( i'm sure it will be awesome! will you post some recordings after the fact? Quote
Katsurugi Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Maybe I'll show up too.... If I did I'd probably drive this time. At least I could sleep in my car this time instead of under a freaking tree. Y'know... Every single time I hear this, it never gets any less funny. (Sorry, Leon K.) ; Quote
Upthorn Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Aww man, Zirc, Liontamer, Jiggles... it just keeps sucking more and more that I'm not gonna be able to make this one. Here's hoping this translation gig I got is awesome enough to make up for it. Quote
Xerol Oplan Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Unless something seriously changes, I can't make it. Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Leon: Hope you can come! Xerol: Noooooo! Mephisto: Yes, I'll definitely post some recordings and pictures... So it'll be like you were there. ^_~ Thanks for your well wishes, everybody! Quote
Bren Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Aw man, I really want to go but that's a huuuuge trek for me. I might go, but it's unlikely. If not, then I too will be looking forward to recordings, pics and all that good stuff. Quote
chfuji Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I wish I could make it out for a bit of meet-up/culture goodness. I hope that all goes well with your recital. (I can't remember if you tell singers to break legs like with actors...) A quick question for you, Ms. pixietricks: my mom used to sing opera when she was in college. She was a coloratura mezzo-soprano. Sadly, she doesn't sing opera nowadays. I wish she still did because just talking about opera I can see how happy it made her. I guess it's like that for you. It must be if you're going to school for it and everything. Anyway, my question is this: what voice are you? Quote
José the Bronx Rican Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Check her site, which I did because my co-worker asked me the same question: soprano, with a thin slice of mezzo. My only option for a short-notice Thursday is to call into work sick, so if I don't turn up to greet you folks on the 15th, you'll know then whether I can make this one. Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Anyway, my question is this: what voice are you? I'm a soubrette with coloratura tendencies. Used to sing mezzo back in high school, so perhaps that's where José got the impression, but my range has moved up a lot since then. Nice that your mom used to sing opera! Quote
zircon Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 I'm a soubrette with coloratura tendencies I don't know what those words mean!!!! Quote
Leon K. Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Yeah, sucks I won't be able to make it. Work Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 Okay, everybody! I'm designating Peabody's main entrance as the official meeting spot for 6:00 this Thursday. There are a lot of doors to get into the building, but this is the only one that doesn't require swipe card access, so it seems like the best choice. (Plus, the steps leading up to the two big doors make it more recognizable!) Here's a map to orient yourselves with: If you can't find street parking, Peabody has a garage on the other side of the building, located on Saint Paul St. zircon (and probably DrumUltimA) will be inside at the main entrance to meet you! If you don't have their cell phone numbers, I would definitely suggest PM'ing them now. I say this because I won't be available to answer my phone or see you guys until after the performance. ^_~ Quote
Ninja-san Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Wish i could go :[ Good luck and have fun! Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 Thanks. ^-^ Don't worry, I'm sure we'll have another Baltimore meetup in the spring. This is sort of a mini-meet. Quote
Bahamut Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 If you have one on March 23, I could be there . Good luck on Thursday though! Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Yeah, I'm definitely not going to be able to make this one Have fun, though! Quote
Zanam Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 It's times like this that I wish I had a steady enough income to be able to afford a trip down to Maryland from here in Michigan... it would be more than worth it to get to hear Jill sing live, and to meet everyone in person. I know i'm not known here on the forums, rarely do I post...(Jill may remember me, I sorta stumbled upon some of her WIP's on her website awhile back and told her of the security issue ... but I do wish to say, I wish you the very best of luck on your recital Jill. I look forward to hearing the recordings. Quote
Kanthos Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I had a dream last night that I was at the recital, except that pixietricks started singing more jazz and funk tunes. At first, I was playing drums for the recital, but then Zircon showed up and since he was the better drummer, I moved to a B3 organ. I think I'm going crazy; I've had too many wierd dreams this week. Quote
Katsurugi Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 ^Whoa. That's a pretty weird dream all right. B3 organs are crazy old school... (but apparently, according to wikipedia, there's a new one that was released in 2002.) I've only seen the older kind though... they smell kind of musty. Just make sure for next time that you don't let zircon push you around. Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 You guys are craaaaazy. Quote
Kanthos Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Why are you posting here this close to the big day? Go rehearse! =D Seriously, my sleep patern has been really messed up and I've been having wierd dreams almost every night. In one, I was at a Pat Metheny Group concert and the pianist got sick partway through, so I sat in (as if I'd ever in my life be good enough to even think about playing with one of the best modern jazz groups). Pat started hitting on me after the concert. It was freaky. My wife looked at me funny when I told her about the dream. Quote
Jiggles Mcpuff Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I sure hope the next meetup is on a saturday. And unfortunatelly I talked to green tentacle and he won't be able to attend. He doesn't have anyone to cover for him tomorrow. But other than that I can't wait! See you tomorrow Quote
