Awesomeness and other things that happened to me

Well, I got to see John Williams conducting the Boston Pops. :D :D :D And our seats were literally right next to the stage, which means that I could have stood up and shook his hand. (I didn't, but I could have.) Yes, I had to crank my neck to see anything above stage level, but that was a minor annoyance compared to the wonderfulness of everything else. I have been a gushy fangirl for John Williams ever since I was old enough to realize that movie music was written by someone, and all the music I liked best was written by the same man. So, yeah, I'm pretty happy.
