I know you guys are on pins and needles. Are you ready for this?

I am going to be in a piano recital. Yes, like your mom used to warn you about. But not my mom.

January 26, a Saturday, at 4:30 PM is the big day. Does anyone have any white tights that I can wear? I feel like I should wear white tights. And Mary Janes.

It will be me, a bunch of eight year olds, and a 40 year old dad of one of the eight year olds. Should be fabulous. I am picturing juice and cookies. I will be playing two very short songs from the heralded Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course Book (aka the Time To Get a Life Book).

Anyway, all are invited. It's a tragedy that we can't have the afterparty at the Ivory Cat.
