ring christmas/roshashana bells

this weekend i was in charge of orchestrating and organizing a signing for the guests artists at the mormon tabernacle choir's annual christmas concert.

this year, brian stokes mitchell - a phenomenal broadway man and edward herrmann - well known as the grandpa, richard gilmore, on 'gilmore girls' joined the choir in a program entitled "ring, christmas bells."



i was lucky enough to hang around them a little on friday night as hundreds of people waited in line for their autograph.

my favorite moment of the night was when i was officially introduced to ed herrmann, whereupon he said, "shanna... like roshashana?" "sure..."

it was a good time. and thanks to my good friend leigh who kept me company the whole night. its nice to have a co-worker that is also your friend.
