On Saturday, I went to a karaoke party to celebrate Biella's housemate's birthday. Then I went to Berkeley to watch the meteors with Ben, who took a group of us up to Grizzly Peak, where the skies were wide open and clear. It was extremely cold. I brought a CD player and a copy of Handel's Fireworks Music, which I listened to as the Leonids streaked by overhead. They were impressive.
On Sunday night, I went to a party at BookFinder, which has to move to a new office space. That was a lot of fun. They ordered a little too much food, though.
One partygoer tells me that there is a Latin conversation group in the Bay Area. This sounds like a good thing to me.
The OpenMusic project of LinuxTag put out an OpenMusic CD, and I was given a copy at ALS. I finally listened to it; it's quite a mixed bag, with some interesting material. The song titles of Void Main are hilarious! I think I want to buy their CD Deadlock.
