Moon, 17, is known for his academic prowess and talent as an oboe player, but he’s also proud of his sense of style.

Um. This simply cannot be! An oboe player … a male oboe player … with a sense of style? Clearly the guy isn’t working hard enough on reeds yet. 😉

Okay, okay, maybe we oboe players can have a sense of style. “It could happen.” (Name that quote.) I am, in fact, about to shop for something to wear for the UCSC Chamber Music Concert I’ll be playing in next Wednesday evening. The two students, with whom I’m playing the Beethoven Trio for 2 Oboes and English horn, opted out of the “all black escape plan” I love so much, and we are wearing black with a solid color of some sort. I can handle that. I think. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can ….

Speaking of clothing it looks like the Dallas Symphony is encouraging Trekkies to be … well … Trekkies. But this writer isn’t thrilled with the idea.

I’m guessing I’ll see a lot of elaborate costumes next week at Play!, the video game concert connected to FanimeCon 2007. I wonder if I will be allowed to take pictures. Stay tuned … I’ll post some here if I’m allowed to.

Okay … off I go … to shop for … color. (Shudder.)
