Sarah Vowell, my National Public Radio hero, the one who inspired me to get my minidisc recorder, and voice of "Violet," the incredible pre-teen Incredible, is coming to town on Thursday. I was all set to go see her and listen to her speak and buy her new book and hopefully get her autograph, but then Susan said she wasn't coming to class on Thursday and that Janet would be the substitute teacher and that we should all be there to work on Cranes.
I'm truly torn here. Sarah Vowell is legendary to me. I've spent countless hours listening to her stories and commentary on reruns of my favorite radio show, This American Life. I idolize her. She's got a funny high voice, she's opinionated, smart, quirky and most notably, cranky. I love her. But on the other hand, I love taiko. I've committed myself to taiko, and I know, even though it really pains me, that I have to go to class. I need work on Cranes and I've never missed a Janet class and I've already told myself that I'm going to work really really hard on taiko.
Sigh. What lousy timing.
