and live too far away to easily attend (or missed out on the newfangled on-line ticket rush), consider visiting a theater near you for this year's St. Olaf Christmas Festival.  We're still considering the drive to a not so local theater.  Dan and I met while on Cantorei retreat and stood next to each other during Christmas Fest. sophomore year - as some of you dear friends recall!  Seeing 'Spaas conduct would certainly be fun as I had every class with him for three years.  Poor guy could hardly keep up with me.  :)  Those memories are (mostly) fun, fun, fun...  Somehow, fitting study for finals and term papers around an insane amount of rehearsal seems *fun* at this point in life!
