My exciting American jaunts!
jwhouk:
The Bluebird Cafe on Broadway in Nashville, for one. :D
Barmymoo:
You guys! I just booked my ticket home from Indiana for September 18th! I am spending the summer in America! It will cost around £800 in total (as a maximum, not including the cost of fun things while I'm staying with Edith but including the choir tour and travel) and hopefully I'll get a whole load of travel grants and college bursaries to cover at least some of that cost. I wouldn't be able to rent one room in a grotty boarding house for that little. EXCITING.
Barmymoo:
Dear everyone who cares at all, did I ever post my choir schedule here? I know I've put it a couple of places but this seems the logical place. I was just googling the National Cathedral and it is absolutely huge. Rather alarmingly so, actually.
Anyway:
Thursday 12 July
12:15pm recital in Trinity Church, Copley square, BOSTON MA
Friday 13 July
7:30pm concert in Christ Church, NEW HAVEN CT
Saturday 14 July
5:00pm Mass in Our Lady of Refuge RC Church, BROOKLYN NY
Sunday 15 July
11:00am Eucharist in St Thomas 5th Avenue, MANHATTAN
4:00pm Evensong and 5:15pm Recital in Cathedral of St John the Divine, MANHATTAN
Tuesday 17 July
7:30pm concert in Cathedral of the Nativity, BETHLEHEM PA
Wednesday 18 July
7:30pm concert in Immanuel Highlands Episcopal Church, WILMINGTON DE
Thursday 19 July
12:15pm recital in Episcopal Cathedral, PHILADELPHIA PA
Sunday 22 July
9:00am and 11:15am Mass in St Paul's K Street, WASHINGTON DC
4:00pm Evensong in National Cathedral, WASHINGTON DC
I would love for anyone to come along to any of these, and hopefully might be able to hang out with people in between services and concerts, although I don't know what our plans are yet. I'm intending on getting an American mobile phone in Boston, because I'll need one for the rest of the summer. Someone who knows about such things, advise me: can I get a cheap, pay as you go, non-fancy phone that will have the same service coverage and charges in any and all states? And if not, would I be better getting a pay phone card or something for the tour and then getting an Indiana phone later?
Lines:
If you get a prepaid, I would get a Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile phone because they seem to have the best coverage nationally. You can probably walk into a store like Target or Walmart (ugh) and buy a phone. Just compare rates and see what's best for you.
I will be on vacation during the earlier performances, but I think the farthest north Michael and I are going is West Virginia. :( But Ft. Wayne isn't too far from where I am, so we'll probably get to see each other more than just at GenCon. I could come up for a visit or maybe you and Eed can come visit for a weekend? Do fun things like go to the zoo or something? I'll have to check with Michael, but I think you guys could probably stay in the guest bedroom if you do!
Barmymoo:
Linds, that would be awesome! Edith is basically in charge of what we're doing because she's got to work most of the time, but I'd love to visit :) You don't by any chance have any contacts at a women's prison or an organisation that works with female offenders, do you? That way I can tie it into the dissertation research I'm meant to be doing!
