A concert

?% | 1

So I just moved to new town for my new job. I graduated from college this weekend, and I'll be doing database and application programming in a language called Progressive. Any body heard of it? I hadn't until I got this job.

I landed an apartment downtown, and I was walking around getting my bearings this Sunday. I went to a few free museums, etc.

I was walking in the general direction of a cathedral tower (trying to find the cathedral) when I saw a beautiful woman in a very nice black dress exit a large marble building. She got into a car and drove away.

I tried the door she had come out of. It was unlocked and led to a very nice lounge. There was a sign "Balcony stairs". So in my curiosity, I went up to the balcony. It was very dark, I couldn't even see the seats. But there was a string quartet playing on stage, so I sat down and listened for half an hour.

At the end of the movement, the musicians got up and exited the stage. Then there was enormous applause. The musicians came out for a return bow. The violinist announced, "Thank you. Thank you. We appreciate your continued support of the arts and this orchestra, and we hope to see you again next week when we perform..."

The lights turned on. I was in a balcony with many senior citizens - all of whom were dressed in suit coats, sparkling dress, etc. etc. Noticing that this event was not free – I was not dressed appropriately. I quickly exited the balcony the way I came. I had seen so many other free things that day, I just assumed that the concert was open to the public as well.

Hopefully my residence in this city will lead to more interesting adventures.

Please contiune to vote AND post.
