2018.09.07 Star Wars Concert

For my birthday this year, S surprised me with tickets to see Star Wars (A New Hope) with the instrumentals performed live by the Portland Symphony Orchestra.

It was delightful.

Star Wars has been one of the cornerstones of my connection with popular culture, and John Williams' score is a very big part of that. Hearing it performed live was magical by itself. Experiencing it amongst all the glorious weirdos who were also eagerly attending the Schnitzer added a special flavour. Especially the couple in the stormtrooper helmet with a white tuxedo and a vader helmet with a skin-tight catsuit.
