San Francisco Symphony @ Shoreline Amphitheater

[thoreau]

A rousing evening of fireworks with the symphony. They played all sorts of stuff from Aaron Copeland's Fanfare for the Common Man to John Williams Calling of the Heroes. I made chicken curry sandwiches with currants and mango - and the couple we went with brought juices and chocolate chip cookies to die for! The show was marvelous. They performed Copeland's Lincoln Portrait and Lauren Bacall was the speaker. She looked devine - I wonder if she lives in the neighborhood? The fireworks were directly overhead and were very cool.

I see from the wikipedia article that Rex Reed and Steve Guttenberg both lived in the Dakota. I wonder if they were roommates? Eh?

In fact, they were.

And quite happily until that fateful evening Steve jokingly locked Rex out in the hallway while he was wearing Judy Garland's dress from the Wizard of Oz, thereby causing Jason Robards to suffer a mild heart attack upon spying the "ghost of the homesick girl from Kansas dashing through the corridor."

The co-op board was not pleased.
