Salon Z

At a building downtown, once a month, they have a monthly composers' salon called Salon Z at Studio Z. Last night, Connor performed his latest composition there, entitled Minnesota Project VII. Here's the grainy and short video I shot with my camera:




Sometime soon, I'll post photos of Connor's birthday dinner and party... Until then, cheers!

Central Library

I'm not sure if I've posted about this before, but there's a really nice library here in Saint Paul called the Central Library. It's big, has four floors (three of which are usable to the public), two intra-floor mezzanines, an underground tie-in to the skybridge (yes, it's called a skybridge here, not a skywalk) system, and it's made of marble and granite throughout, with some wrought iron thrown in for good measure. It was made in the early 1900s by J. J. Hill (of Great Northern Railway and Hillyard fame).

Without further ado, here are some pictures (sorry about the quality - they were mostly low-light cell phone pictures):
