No classical musician wants to get ruthlessly boo'd... & the corporate/NGO donors who force such programming would capitulate.

@dotdotdottweet I've always found idiosyncratic easier to remember if I'm tagging someone. Remembering the order of name + descriptor is always a point of friction

I’m at an art gala for my son’s school and they told the kids to “dress up” so all of them are in suits and beautiful dresses and there’s one kid who misunderstood and came as Spider-Man.
