Sunday September 15, 2013 Temperatures low enough that I wore a long-
sleeved shirt. And for parts of the day, a sweater.

***Como Cookout at Van Cleve Park. Among the children's events was a
quidditch match (not completely authentic.)

I didn't stay long. Headed for the Lake Harriet Bandshell, where the
Minnesota Orchestra's musicians were giving a concert.

The musicians have been locked out for eleven months. Management thought
it would be reasonable for them to take a 25 percent pay cut, and agree
to a few other cost-saving measures.

The Orchestra spent a whole lot of money on its new auditorium, and ended
up in poor financial shape.

A few years back, the Minneapolis library system replaced its central
library with a new one -- and ended up broke. Hennepin County Libraries
took them over. However, there isn't a Hennepin County Orchestra.

Music: Something by Weber, Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony.

There were five people I knew in the audience, and I'd recently met one
member of the orchestra. There were also a number of dogs, one of whom
joined in the applause at the end. I did not know any of the dogs.

1. Being "broke" is the least of Minneapolis Central Library's problems -- being that it has become the biggest hub of crime and derelicity in all of downtown.

2. The Minnesota Orchestra is simply another worthless instrumental troupe specializing in boring classical shit. Hopefully it will go defunct and stop wasting society's time & funding.
