dsgoodSunday September 15, 2013 Temperatures low enough that I wore a long-sleeved shirt. And for parts of the day, a sweater.
***Como Cookout at Van Cleve Park. Among the children's events was a quidditch match (not completely authentic.)
I didn't stay long. Headed for the Lake Harriet Bandshell, where the Minnesota Orchestra's musicians were giving a concert.
The musicians have been locked out for eleven months. Management thought it would be reasonable for them to take a 25 percent pay cut, and agree to a few other cost-saving measures.
The Orchestra spent a whole lot of money on its new auditorium, and ended up in poor financial shape.
A few years back, the Minneapolis library system replaced its central library with a new one -- and ended up broke. Hennepin County Libraries took them over. However, there isn't a Hennepin County Orchestra.
Music: Something by Weber, Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony.
There were five people I knew in the audience, and I'd recently met one member of the orchestra. There were also a number of dogs, one of whom joined in the applause at the end. I did not know any of the dogs.
