how do i love thee, let me count the ways...
if anything ever happened to krannert center, like a fire, or an explosion...i would have to move from champaign to a major metropolitan area. this place is like an oxygen tank with a mouth piece under 10,000 feet of murky sea water. ok, it's not thaaaaat serious but i figured if you were reading this you might be into drama so i'd give you a little. ok here's the deal, i can be working in my office and leave my desk 15 minutes before the beginning of a performance and still make it on time, not pay to park, see a zillion people i know walking into the performance and then sit down to see YoYo Ma. If that doesn't make your musical mouth drool then try this: I can be having the meal of a lifetime on Green St. at Cafe Luna, leave at 7:15 and be in my seat by 7:30 to see Liz Lerman Ferocious Beauty: Genome, then afterwards attend a discussion with a few world leaders in genomic biology along with the director and realize we're all a little bit smarter and happier than we were a few hours ago.
