Weekend News

The thing we hear mostly on Monday is 'How was your weekend?".. Believe me, I want to make my weekend exciting every Friday and when Monday comes I don't have an answer that is exciting at all as it was planned..

Anyway, this weekend was quite OK.. I should say.. We had Looptopia on Friday night.. America's first overnight cultural and artistic experience.. Though they had many thing going on.. my stop was at Chicago Symphony centre. For the first hour, we had Divertimentos by Mozart performed by Civic orchestra of Chicago.. It was a string quartet and they played from a very good selection of Mozart.. On the next hour, it was a jazz quintet.. couldn't get to remember the performers.. but it was lovely.. and so was the night..

The thing that I felt missed in Looptopia was the Clarinet concert played by a Turkish player in Chicago cultural centre.. It was so crowded that I couldn't get in.. and a theatre event.. 365 Days/365 plays.

Saturday.. I don't remember doing something except for watching Mike Todd's "Around the world in 80 days".. a 1956 Oscar winner.. a nice movie.. bit adventurous.. and one more thing happened today.. Dakota Fanning.. I still couldn't take her out of my head.. such was the devastation.. (maybe I'll brief in a separate post..)..

Sunday.. day of washing.. library.. in the evening had a chance to hear a guitar concert by Zagreb Guitar Quartet.. a young croatian team.. they played pieces from Bach and other classical stuff. It was terrific. They had a wonderful synchoronization and their sound was good too. Came back and watched Manhattan.. Woody Allen's classic.. the next thing I saw was my bed.. and slept.

Do you mind telling yours?
