Enigmatic Music

After the scavenger hunt of Saturday afternoon, I retired to the local Rock
Bottom with other MiPLers who apparently cared about the OSU-Oregon U. game.
I, on the other hand, chatted with the people who had simply come along for the
ride to socialize. After dinner I headed uptown to the symphony hall
where I met Michael and Dana for the first serious MiPL event that I was
hosting. Tonight's symphony program was entitled "Enigma Variations" and
featured works from Janacek, Rachmaninoff and Elgar that took a particular theme
and then tried to construct musical phrases that revolved around it.
