for christmas Ulrich got me tickets to see the violinist joshua bell in concert this sunday, which also happens to be lunar new year. what an serendipitous gift! joshua bell was the subject of the famous "stop and hear the music" DC metro experiment, in which he performed Bach partitas on his stradivarius violin while disguised in a t-shirt and baseball cap, and only a handful out of thousands of people paused during their rushed subway commute to listen to him play.
Watching that video reminded me of that wacky Ted talk about what it takes to start a movement. . . it takes one to start and a second to follow behind, so it was like this that it took one or two people to stop to get the others to stop as well. really cool and hope you enjoyed the concert!
