River City Writer Participating in Blog Night @ the ESO
A few weeks ago, I entered a contest which I subsequently forgot about. The prize, as it were, is a pair of tickets to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (ESO) on February 22, 2008.
But, that’s not all. The deal is that the winners will live blog the performance. I figured that River City Writer would be a perfect blog for this sort of thing.
Evidently, the ESO agreed, as I got a call a few minutes ago informing me that I’ve been chosen to be one of bloggers for this event.
This is very cool. I get free tickets to the symphony, free food and drinks while I’m at the show, an opportunity to meet conductor Bill Eddins (who will also be on piano for this performance), as well as some of the other musicians who’ll be involved.
On top of that, my review of the show will be featured on www.edmontonjournal.com.
As you can imagine, I’m pretty pumped about this. This is the sort of thing I want to be able to do with this blog. But, ticket prices often keep me away from events like this (plus, normally, you can’t blog during a performance).
So, keep your eye to River City Writer on the evening of Friday, February 22, and you’ll get as close to being at the symphony as you possibly can be (without actually being there, of course).
Well done, sir! So, are you blogging it RCW or elsewhere?

@Mike: Yeah, it’ll be posted here on RCW.
@Rosemary: Sure. And, in fact, now that I think about it, she probably can’t make it, because she has class that evening. I’ll let you know for sure later.
