amazing dear
good luck man. all cheers over here.
i feel like you should include see a major orchestra play a major symphony, i.e the Pittsburgh Symphony do Beethoven's 9th September 25-27 (a symphony I think you'd relate to) or Dvorak 7 and the Mendelhsohnn violin concerto. You should also include in your list donating maybe once a year to a major symphony, arts society, or npr.
by the way i'd go with you to see an opera, like die walkure by wagner. or something a little lighter by puccini
jared, it looks like you are shamelessly promoting your field. i'm down.
