capri0mniQ:
1) Have you ever been in a helicoptor?
2) What is the first Shakespeare play you read?
3) Anything exciting happening this weekend?
A:
1) No. My dad was an airline pilot (for Eastern) though, and for my sixth birthday, he invited me up into the cockpit for the landing of "his" DC 9.
2) I don't remember; I actually saw a performance of Shakespeare before I ever read him (on TV --one of that BBC series that was broadcast weekly on PBS in the 80s). I think that's why I got hooked. It was As You Like It.
This is the squeeful bit I wanted to tell you:
3) Some people I know, kinda-sorta, in a friendly way in passing, online, are up for a Grammy award, on Sunday. In the Folk Music catagory (so it won't be televised, but will be on the Web).
The specific details are posted here and here (Their album is the fourth album listed, the one with cover songs of Utah Philips' music). A few other people I also know, kinda-sorta, in a friendly way in passing, etc. are singers on the album.
The pre-televised Grammies (the only stuff I'm really interested in) can be seen online, this year (if you have nice broadband, that is) at Grammy.com/live starting at 1:00 p.m. pacific, 4:00 pm Eastern, 9:00 pm GMT, etc. (I do not know if they'll have a more detailed schedule up).
