a view on distance

    I realize that 44 miles was a long way to travel to graduate school, but it
    made me laugh. In Texas we measure distance by time not miles. I just got
    back from a Jazz meeting. It is not unusual for someone from Midland to
    drive to San Angelo (2 hours one way) attend a Jazz concert till 11:00 pm
    and drive back to Midland. People from San Angelo will go to Midland for a
    night out and drive back to San Angelo the same night and these are 2 lane
    blacktop Highways 70 miles an hour and lots of deer. (Personally I think
    they are crazy)

    BTW the Cactus Jazz Festival is September 6th - September 9th Events and
    Artists

    Wednesday Harvey Herbert Blues Contest at Graham's Central Station (time is
    not firm depends on number of entries will end at 10:30 because of noise
    ordinance) -FREE

    Thursday 5:30 - 7:30 Opening of Duke Ellington Exhibit (traveling from
    Smithsonian continues to the end of the month) Free @ SAMFA Calvin Owens
    Blues Orchestra 8:00 - 10:30 $15 at Graham's Central Station

    Friday LaVerne Butler Quartet Cactus Hotel doors open at 7:00 Reserved
    seating $15 I think

    Saturday Local JH & HS Jazz Bands and Visual art activities for elementary
    students (2-4 tenatively) free at the Pasao, Extended hours at SAMFA for the
    exhibit $2.00 per person with lots of discounts for military, students,
    seniors (10 - 8), End of Festival Concert River Stage tickets I can't
    remember the price but inexpensive lots of kids, families sit on a hill
    listen to music see the river behind. There is a concession stand but you
    can bring a picnic but no alcohol TABC rules (performers winner of the
    Harvey Herbert Blues Contest, John Adams Quartet with guest artist Marvin
    Stamm, and The University of North Texas Jazz Repertory Ensemble) Gates open
    at 6 performances start 6:45 end 11:00 all Saturday venues within walking
    distance of each other.

    The Fort Concho National Historic Landmark will be having The Buffalo
    Soldier Exhibit from the collection of Anthony L. Powell I don't know the
    times though.

    The Jazz musicians will see every JH and HS band, choral, and music student
    in SAISD and provisions are in place to include private school students in
    the workshops and school concert. This is a big leap forward for us.
    Cultural Affairs, the Museum, Fort, and School district working together.
    Hopefully we will be able to do something similar with visual arts soon.

    Since we've been talking miles to school. I drive 11 miles to and from
    school. It is on a busy route with lots of lights so sometime it takes 30
    min.! It's 15-20 on a good day.

     . . And speaking of grad. school. The closest school that had a masters
    in painting was 44 miles away from my house! At one point I was driving
    there three nights a week, after work, and getting home past midnight. I
    don't miss that!
