Hey guys, this is Amos... your Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman (web-master... haha?). Anyways, Adrian is currently swamped in preparation for his upcoming concert so he told me to just give you guys a head's up on the site.
In the upcoming weeks, this site will be temporarily relocated to http://8w.crossingtheglobe.org. So when adrianfung.com goes down (around next week or so), just go to there.
Since my last ecstatic post, I've launched myself head-first into a string of rehearsals. The Afiara String Quartet will be performing a series of concerts with the Funsch Dance Experience at the Dance Mission Theatre in San Francisco. The second movement of Schubert's Death and the Maiden will be performed and set to choreographed dance. The concerts are on January 12, 13 and 22 at 8 pm, and tickets are fifteen dollars. The Dance Mission Theatre is located in the Mission district of downtown San Francisco.
You can also catch us on the 19th of January at 8 pm in Hellman Hall performing full works by Haydn (Op. 71, No. 2), Vasks (String Quartet No. 4), and Schubert ("Death and the Maiden"). Free admission. The News Archive | Email
This is fantastic! I'm currently in Terminal 2 at the airport and I have wireless internet access. This is like lugging an umbrella around all day and then, right when you think it's a waste to have done so, it finally rains. Sweet redemption. I know some people hate AirCanada, but thanks to them, I can check my email!
... and no one wrote me anything.
Amos is working on a new layout and things are looking good. So that pretty much settles whether or not I'll be renewing the site come January 26. There will be a necessary down-time for the site. When the time comes for the new website, the News of the Day will have run its course and will be replaced by general announcements. Irrefragable and Irrevocable will still be active, but the poetry site will be scrapped. Let's not act like we ever cared about it. The News Archive | Email
Somebody came by today looking for: understanding the lyrics of jay z from a christian perspective. I'm not saying that I'm one to give it to them, but from the Christian perspective, Jay-Z, also known as Jay-Hova -- the fist-shaking, self-proclaimed "Jehovah" of rap -- is just one step away from being smote by lightning. Great charisma, though.
Other than that, his lyrics are really ingenious, though he advances hip hop's trends and techniques for the sole and noble purpose of letting the world know how great he thinks he is, how much money he makes, and how girls find him attractive despite the fact that he's the most convincing argument for evolution, what with him looking like the missing link from our proposed simian ancestors. Actually, maybe that's not just the Christian perspective. The News Archive | Email
I'm writing at midnight, meaning it's technically the new year. It also means I'm more enlightened than the rest of you who live in the time zones west of me. None of you know what you're missing: I'm seeing things you won't see for at least another hour. While, for me, every moment brachiates into endless, kaleidoscopic possibilities, you troglodytes paw and swing on your proverbial jungle vines, sorely lagging behind the sophisticated hour of our more advanced coast. But, alas, you'll come to see the new year as well, be jaded by the same things as I, and all my crystalized boasting will prove to have had no point, because, suddenly, I'm not special anymore. Annus mirabilis, indeed. My new year's resolutions this year include 1) losing the fifteen pounds I gained last year, 2) being more mature (so that my face will get the hint and realize it needn't produce any more zits), and 3) reading a book that isn't abridged, hasn't been made into a movie, and has no pictures.
