After 20.5 hours of plane, train, and another train worth of travel I am finally back in Frankfurt for the evening and I wanted to post a quick note to say how charming the city and its people have been during my brief visit.

Adaptistration Turns Nine!
Actually, last Saturday was the official anniversary but given the flood of current events, the only safe place to fit in an article like this is while I’m away in Germany for a few days and can’t keep up with breaking news anyway.
Luckily I asked for it shaken*
I’m off to Germany for some James Bond style client work today and won’t be back until Saturday. Although there are plenty of new articles ready to go over the next few days, my travel schedule prohibits the sort of Johnny-on-the-spot coverage you’re used to when something big develops in the Season of Discontent.
GO VOTE!
It’s Election Day and if you haven’t already taken advantage of early voting in your area, then make sure you get out and cast your vote today. Elections are just as important as ever, and even though the focus tends to remain on the national arena, state and local elections can have a much greater impact on the health and vitality of arts organizations in your community.
Big Cancellations In Minneapolis And Spokane Strikes
It was an eventful weekend for the Season of Discontent; in Minnesota, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra (SPCO) board cancelled all concert activity through the end of 2012 and the Minneapolis City Council passed a resolution urging the Minnesota Orchestra Association (MOA) and its musician employees to resume talks and discouraged using a lockout to settle the dispute. In Spokane, the musicians elect to go on strike following the decision of the Spokane Symphony Orchestra (SSO) board to impose their last, best, and final offer.
