Cool, thanks, I'm only going to have Friday night to goof off, I'm leaving Saturady afternoon. I'll probably just drive around in my rental car.... maybe check out one of those places.

i've been to jillian's on that 10 best website. it's more of a sports bar type complex. nothing all that exciting. very "frat boy."
i forgot that they opened a dinosaur barbeque there. i've been to the original in syracuse and it's great - biker bar with good grub. did the kodak place on a fourth grade field trip. maybe it would be more exciting now, but probably not ![]() |

I believe Jillian's is a national chain-they had one in Nashville when i lived there. It was a bar, video game arcade, restaurant, and bowling alley all in one. I went there a couple times. Not that great. In Nashville it wasn't frat-boy because it was at Opry Mills mall which is a bit of a drive from Vandy or any of the other colleges. It was more "redneck" than anything else.

We have a Dave and Busters here. I've never been there though.
Doesn't really sound like it would float my boat. |

they have a famous zen temple, if you're into that kind of thing. i believe it was the first established in the u.s. it's actually quite beautiful. -- ps- break a goddamn leg -- edit: go, pilgrim, and ask if you can visit the place: http://www.rzc.org/ (btw, that website is horribly pretentious and poorly designed. i could totally fix it) |

The Bug Jar is a fine establishment. Rochester is kinda boring though. Kim Gordon is rumored to have been born there as well. |

Erm, I'm back. Rochester was great. Eastman was sweet. I met a bunch of music theorists. I had three interviews: one in analysis, one in skills, and one in research. I nearly froze to death. Didn't have a chance to do anything unscheduled besides driving up to take a look at the lake. This is Eastman Theatre:
![]() The bathrooms are spacious and clean. Also, the library is the largest academic music library in the US. It is ridiculous. I looked at a 1st edition of Bach's Die Kunst der Fuge, a manuscript of La Mer in Debussy's hand, a codex from the 12th century, and a bunch of other stuff like that. Good times. |

Yeah, it was awesome in every sense. No monks, but a lot of asian virtuosos in overcoats, which are similar. Grad students eating hot pockets under blankets in their own corner of the library are also a little like monks. I did not see any of those, however. They were eating bagels, muffins, and veggie sandwiches.
I should find out if they're giving me an offer within 3 weeks, maybe sooner. It's not likely, but it would be incredible and a huge validation of what I've been doing. Eastman has possibly the best graduate theory program in the US, maybe tied with Yale or Indiana or CUNY, hard to say. Whether I get in or not, I was thrilled to make it to the interview stage and not make a fool of myself. |
