Well, I know that the Academy Awards are only due until tomorrow, so we will finally know how many Oscars the movie will win, but I forgot to write a message about something that happened to me last Monday the 23rd.
I went with my best friend at a concert. A concert of the symphonic version of the music of the LOTR trilogy, in six movements. But that wasn't the best... the best was that it was directed by Mr. Howard Shore HIMSELF!!! (For any of you who don't know yet, it's the guy who composed the whole thing.) Well, needless to say it was AWESOME!!! Too bad you weren't there... Our seats were in the middle of the second row.... it was awesome because we could see almost every musician's face, and see the passion in M. Shore when he directed. It really impressed me to realise I wasn't hearing it from a recording, but LIVE, and that everyone in the orchestra was contributing to the wonderful music we heard, and that the guy that had thought of every single note that every single instrument played was right there in front of me, standing a mere 5 meters away from where I was sitting. Needless to say, I LOVED it.
Now, don't you whish you were there with me? Too bad you don't live in Montreal, sooooo saaaaadddd........ Well, too bad you couldn't leap into someone that was watching the concert just for time it lasted so you could be here. Well, anyways, I just wanted to share this incredible experience with you, since I know some of you here are fans of the movies, and I know you will be able to understand what I could have felt. And most of all, you can be assured that I will go buy the soundtrack as soon as I get enough money to...
Well, gotta calm myself down, or I will not be able to stop myself blabbering every single detail of the concert here, so I will breathe deeply and wait for your answers.
