westside stories...

stood in line for an hour and a half to get community rush tickets to a Bernstein Festival concert with the Philadelphia Orchestra this weekend. it was so worth it just to see members of the orchestra performing something out of their usual repertoire, especially during the symphonic dances from West Side Stories. snapping fingers, screaming "rumble!" while playing....yeah, priceless! the audience, including me, actually laughed when they started snapping their fingers during the piece. awesome.
