Not only is it the middle of the week…
Not only is it new comics day…
MacCool’s is having another Guinness dinner tonight. And SaraRules! and I are going.

Last night, SaraRules! and I attended the Utah Symphony 2011-12 Season Announcement Reception at Abravanel Hall. Music Director Thierry Fischer (1, 2, 3) spoke about his vision for the Utah Symphony and the seven directives that drove his choices for the upcoming season and beyond. (There will be a Beethoven cycle throughout the season!) The symphony also unveiled their newly updated website. The event was neatly run and well-managed, and seemed to come off without any outwardly visible problems.

After the event, I jetted over to ‘ for our D&D 3.5 game. A couple of the players weren’t able to make it, but we still managed to accomplish a (not-so) minor goal and give ourselves a slightly longer-term objective, to boot. Now, if we can just manage to pull it off without getting ourselves killed…
