I spent yesterday afternoon at a concert of 'the best of' the Norfolk Music Festival in March. My Beast's chorus were singing (at the very end), and to my surprise were actually the only vocal item on the list. There were African drums (awesome!) and Suzuki violins played by tiny people (one of the tiniest was obviously among the most advanced), there were saxophonists and clarinettists and cellists and so on, but I'd been expecting a few more singing acts and was a bit disappointed in that respect. However—despite the fact that I don't remember saying I wanted to go to this concert *eyes Beast*—it was well worth seeing. And also hot and stuffy.

I discovered recently that there is a thing in the world called the Sarcastic Fringehead. Frankly, I think its name is sufficient justification for its existence, but it is also magnificently weird. See here.

I realize that by "tiny people", you probably mean children, but it took me a minute. At first, my mind went to a weird Thumbelina/Lilliputian kind of place. (With violins! Teeny ones!)

The Sarcastic Fringehead looks like a terrifying math teacher I once had. And yet I love him??

I'm a little disturbed now at the thought of what your schooling must have been like, but yeah, I get the love.
