Still haven’t quite accomplished this, but I was practically next to him last night at the Atlanta Symphony. He was on stage with John Williams, and we practically had front row seats.

It made me
happy 
How I did it: I got the form at the post office (the online form wasn't working when I tried to fill it out), and completed all of the information. Then I picked a day and went to the post office, where they took my picture, my birth certificate, and I paid them the money. Read how I did it…

I saw John Williams conduct his wonderful movie music last night at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. It was perfection! I’ve wanted to see him for twenty years.
And not only that . . . but Steven Spielberg was there, too! He talked about some of their collaborations, and we were right up front, next to the stage.
It was amazing.
Just finished Pride & Prejudice . . . now just one left, and that’s Mansfield Park. Should be able to cross this off my list soon.
