Dana -- that is just so exciting!!!
I am so very jealous even though I cannot carry a tune.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Thanks, Jeff! I wouldn't even be sure where to begin looking up a question like that.
Dana, do you get to keep your music?

I've got tickets to the Hartford showing! yay!
I didn't know tickets were on sale already for the exhibit in Boston. Yikes! Are there still some available?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
FWIW, I got exhibit tickets through a friend, who is a Museum of Science member. (They're the hosts.) They offer (a very limited number of) tickets way in advance to members, and she offered me the opportunity.
As for this exhibit, I think that there is some thing where you have to still pay to get into the MOS, before you get into the exhibit. So look into, like, getting the subscription pass from your local library to get into the MOS, because the Museum is outrageously expensive.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Nutty, I was just teasing. Sorry if it sounded otherwise.

(No problem! I didn't take it that way!) The whole MOS thing is a rant of mine -- who goes to a museum that costs $15 to get into?? Only tourists, I think, and that's bad for the local population. So it's a good thing that local libraries have subscription season passes.
The question is, do they still need volunteers for managing the exhibit? Ellen sent me a link about that a while ago, and I should follow up.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Dana, do you get to keep your music?
No. Unless I xeroxed it, which would violate copyright, and would also only give me the vocal parts, and then blocks of time when the orchestra's playing.
Where and when is this performance? Dare I hope it's not completely sold out already?
July 1 and 2, and it's not sold out yet. Furthermore, if you give me a little bit of time to figure out how it works, I can get you a 20% discount on tickets.
I'm sure they'll release a CD of one of the performances, at some point, although god knows what city.
And I found out that Howard Shore isn't conducting ours. Sniff. Oh, well.

And how would an out-of-state, er, tourist get one of these?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Hm. Probably by getting a local resident with a library card to hosey the pass for you. Preferably, way far in advance, since weekend days are hugely popular and it tends to be first come, first served in the hoseying department.
(Also I don't think the pass gets you in free any more, only discounted; but I don't know for sure.)
