Wow, what a really springy day we're having! Hey, you
know what the best way is to celebrate such warm weather? Yep,
it's immediately heading inside once you've finished
with work. Obviously.
The big event of the evening would
have to be the action in the center of town. That's where
you'll find the King Center Recital Hall on Auraria Campus,
and the Junior Recital of Ted Hummel, playing classical guitar
at 6:30 p.m.
Interestingly enough, there is a stringed
instrument called the “hummel.†It's a Swedish instrument
from the Middle Ages, and a possible precursor to the zither.
“Hummel†means “bee†in German, which may be the origin of the
name of the instrument; the accompaniment strings make a droning
sound like a bee's buzzing. So does this mean we'll
be treated to a recital by Bill Guitar playing classical hummel
soon? Well, probably not.
But do keep an eye out for
the Hummel figurine playing the hummel. Also known as “The
Littlest Metacognitive,†such a rare statuette is worth big
bank on eBay!
Meanwhile, a much less impressive event
is going on at the Pepsi Center today. Well, it certainly is
less impressive if you're a fan of Temple, who have already
been bounced from the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament
and now has a bit of time to spend in Denver playing the tourist.
The kids from Pitt and Oral Roberts are, right now, trying to
figure out who could use a pick-me-up this evening, and fans
from Notre Dame, George Mason, Washington State and Winthrop
(remember where it is, kids?) are all champing at the bit, waiting
for this evening. But there can't be too many of those,
not when you could go to the King Center Recital Hall tonight!
So,
big fun for everyone! Take it easy, and thanks for reading!
