First official Sherlock Chicago meetup!

This one is two-fold, guys:

221Tea Party Chicago Edition hosted by Cara McGee and Adagio Teas

Friday, April 26th at the Adagio Teas Shop (617 N. State Street, Chicago, Illinois 60654) from 7pm to 10pm. There is no admission price, but only 40 in at a time, so it is first come first served. After we’re kicked out at 10, we can head over to the Starbucks on the same block for some more hangout time if people are up for it. ( Since this is an all ages event, we’ll do a coffee shop first, then if people are interested there are bars in the area as well)

 

 

C2E2 is taking place the 26th-28th at McCormick Place. There is a free shuttle from various places downtown. Join us Saturday to roam the expo with other fans! We will gather out front at noon. I will be there early to wait for people (dressed as Sherlock) and hang around a bit after noon, but if you miss us, we should be a fairly obvious and slow-moving group. And if all else fails, start humming the Sherlock theme, sing the song of our people!

I was listening to this and my parents just came in and said “We didn’t know you listened to classical music now.” 

yeah, about that..

i can top that: i played this in my symphony orchestra freshman year of high school

this is called ‘the thieving magpie’ or ‘la gazza ladra’ and if you didn’t know this song before sherlock i’m going to judge the fuck out of you

Actually, this is just part of the overture to the opera “La Gazza Ladra” and the overture itself is a piece, not a song.  Songs, by definition, are sung.  There’s no singing in the overture.  I played this overture when I was in university symphony way before Sherlock (our spring 2006 concert) and I first saw a performance of the opera when I was seven, but this isn’t a contest.  That’s just what people who love classical music need… other classical music listeners deterring people from listening to it and coming off as elitist.  Judging people who didn’t know about it before Sherlock is just atrocious and rude behavior.

“The stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoner, when Sherlock Holmes became a specialist in crime.”
