When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if it’s not, mmmmmmm, boy.

Hello World

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Pinging stlbloggers.com

Is it possible to automatically ping this site?

I’ve been doing it manually for awhile, but am in the process of moving my blog from the current host to Wordpress. One of the fields allows me to add a ping address and I thought I would just check to see if it is possible to make sure that that all of my posts get pinged. Sometimes when I post late at night I forget to stop by here after posting.

Classical Guitar at the Sheldon, Oct 28, 7 pm

The group St. Louis Bella Corda will perform as the main act at The Sheldon Concert Hall on October 28

St. Louis Bella Corda, under the direction of Kirk Hanser, is a classical guitar ensemble (an octet and quartet, with members also forming duos and trios), and they will play in the “Notes from Home” series at the Sheldon on October 28 at 7 pm. 

Bella Corda, which also played on the main stage at the 24th annual Chet Atkins Appreciation Society Festival in Nashville this past summer, is hoping to have its first CD available for sale at the concert; proceeds will go towards scholarships for the week-long guitar Mid-America Guitar Camp held in the summer (MAGC, a favorite with guitar students from across the nation) .  Also appearing on the not-for-profit CD will be several international recording stars, including Italian virtuoso Peppino D’Agostino (voted best acoustic guitarist, 2007), Michael Chapdelaine (the only person to win the world’s top competitions for both fingerstyle and classical guitar), Roger Hudson of Nashville, and the Hanser-McClellan Guitar Duo.  

Perhaps you heard Bella Corda at one of their many area concerts, including previous shows at The Sheldon, Webster University and the Botanical Garden (for Rhapsody in Bloom, sponsored by Classic 99 KFUO).  They’ll perform at Milliken University in Decatur, IL on October 26th (EDIT: note, this concert in Illinois is confirmed by Manley Mallard of the University to be at 6 pm, not 7 pm or 4 pm as listed on some websites).  Don’t miss this month’s Sheldon Concert in St. Louis on October 28th!

Details: St. Louis Bella Corda at The Sheldon Concert Hall
Tuesday, October 28, 2008 at 7:00 PM
 
An eight-member guitar ensemble comprised of some of St. Louis’s best young classic and fingerstyle guitarists. All former students of the Childbloom Guitar Program, these students have gone on to perform as often as several times a month in venues throughout the Midwest, and as far away as Nashville and Austin.   

Tickets will be $6 at the door.

Symphony dining suggestions

I will be going to the symphony in September (Lord of the Rings!) and would like to have dinner first.  I have eaten at the Fox before performances there.  To my knowledge there is nothing comparable at the symphony. 

Do you have any restaurant suggestions for the area?

Thanks.  And there are tickets still available.
