So, my friend Amber and I decided that we were going to attempt to head to the Hollywood Bowl to see the LA Philharmonic play the music of the movies directed by John Williams. Well, luckily (unfortunately) a guy we knew broke up with his girlfriend and gave us the tickets. John Williams wrote most of the famous soundtracks one might recognize like ET, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Superman and of course... Star Wars. So, I had a chance to see almost this exact same show a few years back in Pittsburgh but there was something this show had that the other one didn't. I couldn't put my finger on it, until the Star Wars music began and then I realized...oh yeah, LIGHT SABERS. Apparently there's some unspoken understanding amongst John Williams/ Classical Music/ Star Wars fans that it's totally appropriate, if not socially expected to wave a large 4 ft light saber in the air along with the music. As you may have already realized, I love it when grown-ups have a chance to act like kids again.
