My first goal is to free the tree from the climbing weeds

God was trying to tell us not to see New Moon by raising the bridge. It didn't work. (God was mostly right :/)

November 19th, Thursday

This has pretty much everything I am a sucker for: an enthusiastic children's choir, a gospel choir, a string section, a melding of visual and musical arts, a lack of obvious ego, and Damon Albarn's adorable bunny monkey face.
