2:21 pm	Late Update This is an email I sent to a buncha people a few days ago. I thought I'd post it here, since some of you aren't on that email list. If you'd LIKE to be on my email updates list, drop me a comment with your email address (or something like it like "starlg at gmail" and I'll add you! Hello friends! I'm in my third week at Northwestern and I can honestly say, I've never worked harder in my life. I'm taking very few classes (including German 101 and a class which is entirely made up of watching other people's lessons) but my day is completely filled with practicing that never seems to be finished and ensemble rehearsals in which I am regularly challenged by either the repertoire or simply the high level of playing all around me. I was placed in the Symphony Orchestra this semester and we're playing a pretty light program which is giving me a chance to find my footing among the other hornists in the studio. And boy. Let me tell you; they are amazing. I have never played with such uniformly talented folks on such a regular basis! My lessons are going well. Gail Williams is such an incredible teacher; no matter what, it is always a productive and positive lesson. Once or twice a month, I also have a lesson with Bill Barnewitz whose recordings I adore. His lessons have been more challenging and I have been striving to find within my own horn voice those beautiful woodwind-like sounds and colors he produces (in real life, too!). Evanston ist wundershön, as they say. There are many beautiful trees and I had a lot of fun mushrooming when I first got here and there was so much rain from the hurricanes to the South. The apartment I'm sharing with Elise is homey and just perfect for us and I have a bike that I'm borrowing from my friend (Jill Epstein who used to take care of my sister and I as kids) and have been riding around on that. It makes me a little nostalgic for friendlier West Coast drivers! I know the upcoming election is pressing on many of our minds, lately. I had originally intended for this email to be a call to arms-- or rather to register to vote-- but I know today is the last day to register to vote in Illinois and I believe it's past the last date to register in Oregon. But here is my election sentiment: please take a moment to talk to a person you know about this election. If they are undecided (and I know there are many of you who may not think you know any undecided voters) now is the time to give them the push or the little bit of information they might need to make their decision. It may just take YOU-- you, being as charismatic as you are!-- to sway them in one direction or another. This could be your classmate, your aunt or uncle, your grandparents, your neighbor, your friend from high school. Beyond facebook, there are people you know that aren't sure about Obama or McCain. Please take a moment to change that. Take care! Leander (Comment on this)

6:43 pm	'Cause I'm Such A Goddam Likeable Fellow! Assuming, for a moment, that I will live to the age of 73, that means that I will live for 26,627 days. Now, out of those 26,627, around 20 will have been worthy of being called a "first day of school" (give or take some iffy ones that happened at PSU). Given those perameters, today was (about) a one in 1331.35 kind of a day. And I would have to say, that's about how it felt. Yesterday felt much more "first day of school" than today, even though classes started today. Yesterday was the music school barbecue and my poop-- I mean POOL!-- audition. Which I thought kinda sucked, if you want to know the truth. But I also had a lesson yesterday and GW said it was a "good audition". When I made a face, she qualified that it was good for my first one! Nevertheless, I'm glad it wasn't hideous. Nobody wants to kick me out, yet! So today, I had my first German class ("Wie heißen sie?" "Ich heißen Leander!") and I also got a notification that part of my GA/TA stipend assignment has been changed. Before, all I was assigned to do was play for the conducting classes. Now, two hours of my week has been given to the reception office of Reg Hall (where I take my lessons and practice, mostly). To this new development, I say, "Dang." It's all because I'm a ridiculously nice guy and I think my general over-eager presentation screams, "I would be SOOO good in reception because I'm so damn friendly and helpful!". I happen to know that I accidentally charmed the pants off the woman who works in that office and her student assistant (there was winking involved) and so I'm fairly certain she asked for me. Ooooh-well. Wish me luck in getting my laundry done tonight! Leander (4 Comments |Comment on this)

7:39 am	Election Blues It feels like the last time... I'm getting more and more nervous. I'm trying to keep cool, but I find myself getting really frightened that history will repeat itself. ...Last time, I was just starting at the San Francisco Conservatory. At the end of October, Julia and I celebrated a month-early Thanksgiving, just in case there was nothing to give thanks for, come November. Turns out, there's ALWAYS something to give thanks for. But just barely. The morning of the election in 2004, a boy named Fortunato angered me so much by saying that he didn't vote because he simply didn't care that I hit him as hard as I could on the back of the head. I ended up having to write a really suck-up apology to him and his family so they didn't press charges... But seriously, this is a kid who was always bragging about being in an asian gang and having knife fights in the street or some crap. Really, he was just a privileged asshole who wanted to press my buttons and got more than he bargained for... This time, our candidate is a little more exciting and if he doesn't win (which he WILL!!) I'm going to try not to hit anyone. And then maybe Argentina? Elise and I have a dream of Argentina and if anyone wants to join us there, please feel free! Until then, I'll be volunteering at the Democratic Office and asking people if they're registered to vote. Have you registered to vote? http://www.rockthevote.com/rtv_register.html (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:05 am	So, as I write in my favorite little café, the rain is blowing and pounding and there is a little white-water river rushing around the corner of Main onto Hinman Avenue. It's dramatic and lovely and reminds me a little of home and a lot of San Francisco during the torrential rains. The only downside is that I still haven't received the package I sent to myself which contains all my winter clothes and, really, all my rain clothes, too. The best I can do is my wool cap and my spock hoodie... And so I'm getting wet when I leave the house. Yesterday, I had my first lesson with my new teacher, GW. I didn't play a note, the whole lesson. We just talked and she gave me some names of music to buy. Mostly etudes but also the Bach Cello Suites-- yay! Also, a former student came by her office and the three of us talked for a while. I could have been upset that he took so much of my lesson time, but I was so touched that any of her students could just come by at any time-- whenever they needed-- and she would ask after their problems, give them her full attention, really be there for them. I'm so happy to know that will be something available to me, also. For the rest of my life. GW is a great teacher and really cares for all her students. It's amazing. I've been taking the occasional picture with my cell phone since I've been in Evanston, mostly to send as messages. But I thought I'd post them here as pictorial evidence of my time here! A graffito I found on my walk to get veggies. I did, in fact have to run right after I saw it to make the light! Cooking some of my lovely produce and how I felt about it... My new steed, donated by my friend Jill Epstien (with whom I made buttons for four hours at the Democratic Party office of Evanston, a few days ago.) I've also been making some t-shirts. I got the shirts (five of them) for $2 each at Walgreens. The lion shirt is iron-on appliques and the Team Dresch shirt is just acrylic paint and says "Captain" on the back! (Comment on this)

7:26 am	Before Sunset - Have you ever spent some time in Eastern Europe? - Eastern? No, no... - No? I remember as a teenager I went to Warsaw, when it was still a strict communist regime. Which I don't approve of at all. - Sure you don't... - No, I don... - No, I'm just kidding! - But, anyway, something about being there was very interesting, I found. After a couple of weeks, something changed in me. The city was quite gloomy and gray... but, after a while, my brain seemed clearer. I was writing a lot more in my journal, ideas I never thought of before. - Communist ideas? - Listen, I'm not... - I'm sorry, I can't... Go on! - I'll send you to a Gulag! No... But, it took me a while to figure out why it felt, you know, so different. And then, one day, as I was walking through the Jewish cemetery, I don't know why, but it occurred to me there, I realized that I had spent the last 2 weeks away from most of my habits. TV was in a language I didn't understand, So, all I've been doing was... - walk around, thinking - right! My brain felt like it was at rest, free from the consuming frenzy. And I have to say, it was almost like a natural high. I felt so peaceful inside, no... strange urge to be somewhere else, to shop... Maybe it could have seemed like boredom at first, but it quickly became very, very soulful. (Comment on this)

3:28 pm	Getting Settled Today, the weather is vastly improved from yesterday. It's cloudy, but there's no rain and it's not <i>quite</i> so muggy. So I took the chance to journey out on foot to the Northwestern campus. I thought it would be a long walk, but no, it takes less than half-an-hour. Probably about fifteen minutes, really. Regenstein Hall was closed to those without student ID cards, so I went over to the music administration building and met some of the people working there. After eating a bagel at "Einstein's Bagels", I walked on Elmwood Ave in the direction of home, hoping to pass by the acupuncture clinic whose card I picked up at Working Class in Portland. I walked and walked and walked and I was worried it had closed or I had somehow missed it. However, at the very end of Elmwood, there it was-- at Elmwood and Main-- just a scant two blocks from my apartment at Chicago and Main! What luck. Unfortunately, they were not open just yet. I shall call later today and make an appointment.   Also today, I'm hoping to get a library card. I don't have very solid proof of my residency, yet. Yesterday, I received a package sent to myself at this address. Today, I got a wonderful surprise from Eli Rood-- a card and a picture from when he came to rollerskate in Portland.  It's really a great picture, too!  (Eli-- you are the best!  Thank you!).  Perhaps the library will accept these cute tokens of citizenship? A side note: I've always hated Wholefoods Grocery stores with a passion. However, I'm really enjoying the one down the street from me. In addition to being the closest grocery store, it's really a homey place, with very little of the yuppy hustle and bustle I usually associate with Wholefoods.  Tomorrow, though, I'll be trekking down to New Leaf Grocery (three miles away) to pick up my produce box.  Other projects for tomorrow?  Pick up my tuxedo from the dry cleaners and go tablecloth shopping. Much love, as always, Leander   (Comment on this)

2:21 pm	Plop. Well, I've landed. I'm here, in Evanston. In a word, right now the apartment is stuffy. In three words, I would describe it as warm, dusty, and nice. Yes, it's quite nice-- although it'd be a hell of a lot nicer if it were really mine. My "sublettee" has questionable taste in decor and furniture... :) The first thing I did once I got here and put my stuff down was go get food. After a day of traveling I was STARVING! There is a Whole foods a also another, more generic grocery store about two blocks away and I checked them both out. Wholefoods had all their local grown foods marked so I picked up some local beets, green beans, and spinach in addition to some essentials. My first produce box arrives on Saturday and I can't wait! In general, people are less friendly here which sort of makes me sad but when someone does respond in kind to my goofy Oregonian grin, it's a treat. I can't wait to rest and then start cleaning up my new home. Lovingly, Leander (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:18 pm	Relief, in many forms Elise went to an allergist today and it turns out she's not allergic to mold-- just dust which means she might not have to move out of the basement. We were both really bummed that she might have to for emotional and monetary reasons. So yay. Today, I've been trying to de-dustify the bedroom, cooking every item in the dryer, vacuming, etc. It also may be that she's not suffering an allergic reation at all and it's a chronic sinus infection which would ALSO be cool 'cause then it's a round of antibiotics and bup-- she's better! Another relief: I have been rehired by two schools to continue scholarshipped lessons for their horn students which means that I will have enough money to cover December without dipping into my savings. ROCK. Lastly, I'm SUPER excited about visiting SF next week, even though I'v had to give up 3 different gigs that have now been offered to me for that week. I don't have my homestays organized yet but I'm sure that will all fall into place.... right? Tata for now! Leander (Comment on this)

3:14 pm	My Life As a Musical (also titled Go Go Go Leander!) Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat of Death is in it's second week now... and I'm getting in the groove. I literally cannot remember the time I spend playing it-- it seems that I spend the 90 minutes in a coma or perhaps some sort of black hole. But the effects of the show stay with me during the day and, oh god, the night. In the middle of the night, I get a melody in my head and think, 'is that Beethoven? No! It's Grovel, Grovel, from the second act of Joseph...' Oh well. It could be worse! On the far-opposite end of the Musical Theater Spectrum, I am attending Cabaret this Sunday evening with Max and Devon. It's closing night and I'm super excited! Max has been working in the box office for the show and got us THIRD ROW CENTER seats!! And we're going to the after party. Yay!! Other things: I've been trying to keep up the good practice but it is difficult simply because 'Joseph' takes it out of me and also, all my hard auditions just passed. But I've got to keep looking forward; auditions for New World, Northwestern, Summer Festivals, winter recital, etc... Boring update, but so be it...

11:38 am	Just Me and Sammy There is nothing like a sweetheart's absence combined with procrastination to inspire one to write in one's journal. It's not so much that Elise takes up my time so that I can't write. It's just that when she's around, I tell HER about my day and when she's gone, I guess I feel like telling SOMEBODY... so here I am. Last night, when I got home from the first of 14-- count 'em fourteen-- Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat gigs, there was an insistent mewing noise coming from under a bush in my yard. The hearty mewing turned out to be coming from an adorable and hungry kitten that I have named Sammy. Sammy looks alot like this: Sammy, to whom I fed some tunafish and water and then cuddled for a while, has stolen my heart. He absolutely refused to come inside for the night so I left him in our yard. This morning, he is, as one might expect, nowhere to be found. I miss him! In other news, I am steadily making more and more money via gigs and students every month. I actually have enough to start paying my student loans off these next months (and then some) without getting a day job. Hurrah! Also: I am completely addicted to facebook scrabble. So come play with me! Hope all are well! Leander (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:20 pm	Pride = Me There is nothing like Pride to make a city really come alive and be excited. I was so glad I could be in the bay this last weekend for all the festivities. Let me give you the highlights of the weekend: On Friday, a whole bunch of people from my school went over to Zeitgeist for happy hour and a goodbye celebration for my good friend Stressbomb. She's moving to Boston this week to become the admissions assistant at NEC (New England Conservatory). But first, she's driving my ass up to Portland on her way to a family event in Seattle. Roadtrip-- Yay!! Later on Friday night, I BARTed over to Berkeley to see a show of one of my favorite bands-- Edmund Welles. The show was at a community center/ meeting house/ dance hall dating back to the 1890's. Very cool, very Berkeley! Edmund Welles is, perhaps, the strangest, nerdiest band ever, made up of four bass clarinets. That's right. Just four bass clarinets. They compose most of their own music-- self described as "heavy chamber music" and sort of minimalist inspired. They also play covers of nineties pop songs. Amazing. Their myspace is: http://www.myspace.com/edmundwelles Saturday was the Dyke March. And that was my real pride day. I watched a good deal of the Yankees/Giants game on TV then headed off to the meet-up at Dolores park. There, I was excited to see Max, Jodi, Maria, and fun friends of theirs from PDX... And also Ianne who I lives in the same city as me but I haven't seen in ages. We had some beers, did some sight-seeing, so to speak, and eventually, Elise called to say she was close and I went to meet her. See, Elise was in town for two days and it was our last two days before I didn't see her for 6 weeks. So we met near the 16th and Mission BART station and joined the dyke march there. Both Elise and I had smiles plastered on our faces but it was hard to say whether it was from all the cheering or beautiful people or the beautiful city or the fact that we were so happy to see each other again... We meant to meet up with Max and the others later, but never quite made it. :) Big Pride Sunday, we skipped most of. Instead, we hung out with the puppies I'm living with (14 wk old Maltese-Poodle mixes named George and Dot!), lounged on the Berkeley campus lawns, ate great food, and met up with queer oberlin friends of Elise's in the evening. One of the friends is a film-studies person and makes documentaries. While at her apartment, we watched an old film from Elise's Oberlin days with most of the people at the party in it. How they've all changed and grown up! Yesterday was more friends, more puppies, practicing, and amazing Vietnamese food. And then saying goodbye. On another note, I can't wait to be in Portland. Portland is the best city and summer is the best part of Portland! I can't wait to put my little business plan in to action and see how many students I can round up. I can't wait to play gigs with old friends. Speaking of which, I got promoted for my Newport Symphony gig from third horn to first horn. Which means more pay and also means that I'm practicing my ass off, hoping to have enough chops to play well through a big pops concert. I'm also playing an informal audition before the first rehearsal for the open principal horn spot in that orchestra. Wish me luck. Anyway, it's good to be back to LJ land. I'll talk to you all later!

10:49 pm	Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Collins, Mr. Bingly, Etc, Etc, Etc... Recovery, Day 5 Today was a low-key kind of day. I spent most of the day coloring in Elise's roommate's coloring books. It was the most perfect, mindless activity. While my sister, Elise, and I were coloring quietly like good first-graders, the doorbell rang and it was a suprise package-- in fact, the best care package EVER from my dear friend Mr. Rood. It included cookies (broken, but I could tell from the color they were meant to be St.Patrick's Day Themed-- either that, or Oregon Ducks Themed), amazing chocolate with almonds, a very thick GQ magazine which entertained me all afternoon, AN AWESOME COUNTRY MUSIC MIX CD (yeehaw!), some New York City themed condoms (always handy), a very sweet card and some other things I'm probably forgetting, now. It was truly wonderful and brightened the whole day! Later, for dinner, Elise and I engaged in what my sister and I call "kamikaze cooking" and made a wild creation involving alternating layers of beet greens and a conglomerate of beets, potatoes, black beans, TVP, green onion, cheese, and spices. Oh, and asparagus. It was weird. But we couldn't stop eating it. I also made some sort of sweet curry rice with leeks and apple but it was late being done and we were all too full to sample the second mysterious creation. After supper, I colored for a little while longer (those really intricate, abstract designs are totally addicting!) while Elise wrote a paper for her Orchestra Seminar and when we'd both had enough, we continued the saga of Pride and Prejudice, a saga we'd abandoned several months back. I'm rather glad we didn't ever finish it then, because it's the perfect thing to be watching right now. It's interesting yet slow-moving and long. And the characters are wonderful. Elise knows the whole thing by heart so she thinks it's hysterical when I get all worked up over some semi-suspenseful detail... It's fun. Anyway, tomorrow I get my drains removed-- HURRAH! I can't wait. If I'm feeling up to it, I'm going to try and go with Solana and Elise to the ballet tomorrow night. They're getting standing room tickets which are very cheap and it's no big deal if I want to stand up, sit down, pace, leave early, whatever. I'm brimming with eagerness to do something, everything. All at once. Much love, Leander (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:25 am	Bionic Boyfriend Healing, day four. Well, yesterday, I actually won at scrabble, arousing suspicions that not only have I had chest surgery, but that I have also have been given implants which are improving me and eventually will make me into a super-human being. I got a bingo with the word AQUATINT with a double letter score on the "Q". Just lucky, or cyborg? Who can tell? What I though was funny was that Julia retorted my play with the words "BITCH" and "HA", both on triple word scores, evening the score quite a bit. In other news, I'm ready for these drains to come out. I really feel they are cramping my style. I suppose I can wait until Tuesday, though. My hair could also use a shampooing. I've been pretty careless with the amount I wash my hair the last few months, but not even rinsing it out is pretty gross. Tonight, Tessa is coming over to watch Casablanca with me-- one of my favorite movies ever. This is my favorite representation of Casablanca in the media EVER, from the Feb 25, 2007 SF Chronicle: Dear Mick LaSalle: Am I the only one who doesn't think "Casablanca" is the greatest picture ever made? Beverly Meyer, Walnut Creek Dear Beverly Meyer: Yes. Slam! Well, anyway, it's true! The rest of my day today will be spent looking at maps of the California Coastal Trail and planning the trip Elise and I are going to take in Late May/June. More about that later! Take care, everyone! -Leander (2 Comments |Comment on this)

1:49 pm	Hey all! Well, I'm in recovery these days, taking it real easy. Truth be told, my days swing between being exhausted and incredibly bored. Right now is a boredom time. Fifteen minutes from now, who knows? Though I have never been under general anesthesia before, nor taken any harder pain medication than Ibuprofen, I really haven't had much trouble since my surgery with these things. I've had a great apatite, very little pain, and I'm pretty lucid, too. Julia commented that I should become an opiate addict since I seem to operate quite well under the influence of those drugs. In fact, the day of my surgery, I whomped Elise and my sister at a game of SET and yesterday, I was the chess champion of the household, as well. Not too shabby. The true test will come this afternoon when Julia and Stressbomb come over to play some Scrabble. Those are two people who double my score even when I'm sober so I can't imagine I'll be much in the running in this competition. Oh, and as of last night, I switched to extra-strength Tylenol from Percocet. I figure it's better for me-- it certainly makes me smell less... medicine-y. :-P OK. I'll try to keep y'all posted. Thank you for all the good energy being sent to me-- it's certainly doing the trick! Love love love, Leander (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:02 pm	News from Northwestern 'Aight, y'all. I had my Northwestern audition, this evening. It was pretty fun. I think I played fairly well... I think I may not have played as well as I did in my Boston audition... but I was extraordinarily present in this audition, which was good. The audition was a pseudo-lesson, (as I had expected it to be) and I really feel like when Gail Williams made suggestions to me, I was really able to apply them right away. I feel very proud of that, no matter what the outcome. While I was chilling out before my audition, I ran in to Jeff Strong (or, rather, he ran in to me) which was great. He is a trumpet player who graduated from SFCM last year and is in his first year at NU. He loves the program and the trumpet studio and he told me all about his experience. It was a great coincidence and so great to see him! After my audition, Jill picked me up and we went to have a drink and dinner at an Italian restaurant where we had 6:45pm reservations. Now, we're killing a little time before we go to a comedy/improve show downtown ("Too Much Light Makes a Baby Go Blind"). Apparently, it's a big deal and we have to get there an hour early and stand in line to get tickets. Tomorrow, it's the Art Institute for an impressionist exhibit, the aquarium, and then dinner at a vietnamese restaurant with Jill's good friend, Ramona. I'm having a wonderful time! I don't think I mentioned in previous entries the outcome of my last-minute withdrawal of my McGill audition... I was able to call them and explain things and they are fine with me sending a recording. I have booked the recital hall for Tuesday to make the recording. I'm not sure how much of a chance I have of getting in with a recording, but I can hope for the best... Anyway, hope you're all doing well! Love Leander (Comment on this)

8:29 pm	New York decided to try to beat San Francisco, yesterday. It was bright, sunny, warm, everybody on the streets was happy! I met Eli for lunch at a place called "Cafe Swish". Later, I was able to practice in Eli's apartment with no complaint from his neighbors, which was nice. Yesterday evening, Eli and I decided not to go to the trans-masculine group and instead cooked supper for Rochelle. Or at least, we tried to cook some dinner but at the end, we were so pressed for time, Rochelle had to help quite a bit so we could scarf some food before we left to put me on my Greyhound bus. This afternoon I arrived in Chicago by bus and have settled in to the most homey household ever, that of my childhood pseudo-mom, Jill Epstein. She's done everything possible to make me totally comfortable (and WELL FED!!) and I can't wait for my Northwestern audition tomorrow... I'll keep you all posted! -Leander (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:31 am	News from the Big Apple The exciting adventure continues... Last night, after a quick wash-and-brush-up, Eli and I headed to the lower East side to eat dinner at Rochelle's place. She and Megan had cooked a delightful meal consisting of rice noodles with home-made seitan and yummy garnishes and a delicious watercress greens salad with awesome dressing-- megans's creation. We lolled about for quite some time after the meal, played a wicked-fun game called, I think, "Blockus"? Elise: We need to get this game. It is loads of MENSA-endorsed fun! After games and icecream, Megan took off for one Karaoke bar, and Rochelle, Eli and I headed to another karaoke bar up near Eli's apartment in the Upper West Side. There, we met Monrovia, (a friend of Eli's from Columbia), and some other folks. As usual, I did not participate, but was exceedingly enthusiastic as Eli and Rochelle both performed brilliantly! Today, I'm meeting Eli for lunch, practicing in the afternoon, going to Eli's tran-masculine group in the evening, then catching my bus to Chicago in the late evening. It's going to be a good day in New York City! (3 Comments |Comment on this)
