Further (and late) Arrivals
Tuesday, April 11 2006
Lunlunta, Argentina
19:04
Dinner pushed back to 7:30, not sure why. Coffee/tea duty hasn't been too bad, though of 5 scheduled, two were / are not here yet. Seattle folks delayed – ATL instead of DFW, then missed connection at SCL. Should be here soon? Very good lunch – potato/carrot/etc mash-up, fried? butternut squash (baked probably), coleslaw. More gorgeous weather. Lots of arrivals today, over 100 now total? List of attendees posted. Continuing to use IF's guitar. Strings getting very dead.
Glenn's power adapter for his IMac exploded. Plug adapter -> voltage adapter -> wallwart. The voltage adapter started smelling like hot electronics. Then when he unplugged / plugged it, it went "bang!". No external damage or injury (this was in the Hall of Aspiration, I was doing a lie-down and he and Mary Beth were working on a circulated piece).
23:29
Dinner: polenta, peas/broccoli/onions, shredded carrots. Yummy. Dessert was a pear crisp w/ custard and cream. Mmm. Coffee station wasn't too crazy but kept me and Pablo and Gabriel busy until late. Zum performed at 9:30 in the ballroom. A few new bits, including an extended jazz fantasy in the middle of a piece (it was I Wish). Excellent performance. Schedule tomorrow: on lunch at 10 AM. 10 is also the inaugural meeting. Not tonight as Curt, Bill, Sandra, and Rob didn't arrive until late in dinner. Much energy tonight. By this time last night, most were in bed. Large circle down the hall riffing on something diminished.
Pablo showed me part of a Bach piece – a Gavotte? Something in 6/8. Fun, but one bit that is eluding me. Igor does not have the screws I need. So, not sure if/when IF will need his guitar back. He's still very busy facilitating. A, hah, he just found me and asked for it back.
