I live in Florida too. There is no dress code. Folks wear flip-flops to church....
That's right.

Anything more than shorts and flipflops...

Heading to 80 today in Phoenix... The way I know the season is changing here is when it gets a little too chilly in the morning for shorts and sandals, that means winter has arrived, and when the jeans and sneakers start to get a little warm, that means summer is here.

For the Symphony or Opera, Who tie-dyes are big this year.

The rain in San Francisco is interfering with my bicycle commute. Miffed that Argerich cancelled her program with Perlman this friday. But I'm seeing Coplan 3 on Saturday so w/evs.

I thought the official start of summer in southern Arizona was when I open a door to go outside and the heatwave hits me like a blast furnace, when it was a pleasant, warm breeze yesterday.
Same in Los Angeles - I go in sneakers and polo shirts, both to the Chandler and Disney Hall - right now they are just happy to get butts in the seats - then I again that's me and I am just happy it doesn't matter - apologies to people who think like that, but "part of the fun is dressing up" makes no sense to me. I have heard it in different contexts and always find it non-sensical... maybe because to me dressing up is torture...
[EDIT] Just wanted to say more... I do see people that dress up, so the contrast can be funny. Me in my sneakers and polo shirts and the couple next to me in a gown and tuxedo... Now, apologies for being smug, but with my father instilling the love of classical music since I have memory and even before, my easily 5000+ classical CD collection (plus the LPs), IMHO I feel like I belong more than that couple embodying the cliches of "a night at the opera" (the concept, not the movie or the queen album).

A less than positive take on MQA from Stereophile. The comments are well worth a read too.

(Life was so much simpler when I first got interested in music, we played records at home, made tapes for the car, and tuned into the radio to find something new.)

Reading the comments in that article someone mentions major record labels owning a stake in MQA and that's not good.
I sure hope MQA doesn't become the standard. I have no intention of buying MQA anything and will stick with buying CD"s.

Any word on Mike? I hope he is recovering well.

In some parts of Florida, it is clothing optional. Since I lived in central Florida for over 40 years, the laid back dress code is common. For example, a dress up for me might be a dress shirt, Dockers pants, a blazer but definitely NO tie. Dressy enough!
