I somehow seem to have italicized my entire blog. Perhaps this means the entire thing is
a) a footnote to my life
b) REALLY IMPORTANT
c) written in a different language than the dominant typographic discourse of the rest of the Internet
d) not supposed to be edited after 1 am.
My ineptitude in this area is highly ironic, given that my brother is now a web browser developer.
I had dinner with my aunt and uncle tonight, and they told me about this NYC-based AIDS nonprofit they support, Classical Action, a Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids affiliate. Among other things, they run events where classical chamber music artists donate their time to perform in intimate, home settings. Tickets are over $200 but you get to hear an artist playing in a living room, and the money goes to “raise vitally needed funds for HIV/AIDS service, education, and prevention programs across the country.”
It’s a great idea and a great fundraising model – a high-priced ticket for an extraordinary experience.
