I too live close enough to have a free pass to the concerts. Don't have speakers big enough to blast recorded music, but it's a great weekend for piccolo practice! Latin, jazz, marching band ...

Bruun's masterwork
![poster of an orange halved through the middle on a black background. the top bit of the orange circle is sliced off and appears at the bottom, under the words 'juo-drick [drink] Jaffa [brand fruit sodas]'. the top cut edge of the orange emirs faint bubbles, easy to overlook against the black. this is one of a series of ads in the same style, and the orange half was used on packaging.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vxgnnck2wehbe7ktpzh64an3/bafkreict4sa6i5csece2sivuutblv6dazexr2al6zboihtv4ueq6r536j4@jpeg)

Saved Ella Emhoff for the apartment decor she's blocking the view of. Saved GM Levy Rozman because it actually might be interesting to see his show, especially with Cramling or Polgar.

![For our international crowd, Canadian fight terminology:
Elbows up: we mean business and we aren’t backing down
Gloves off: it’s go time.
Jersey em: we’re yanking their own jersey over their head and using it to incapacitate them while we pound on them
Over the boards: we’re bringing supports into this skirmish
Clear the bench: we are ALL in the fight and it’s not going to be pretty, we’ll take it for the team and no man gets left behind.
Hope that clears it up. 🇨🇦
