Sci-fi Extravaganza

We went to a great concert the other night at the Winspear Centre, the main concert hall in Edmonton. It was the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra playing various science fiction theme tunes including Star Wars by John Williams, Superman by John Williams, ET by John Williams, Close Encounters of the Third Kind by John Williams, ET by John Williams and Harry Potter by John Williams. To break up the monopoly, they also played a few other pieces including 2001 A Space Odessey, Stargate, X Files and Star Trek. The latter included a cameo appearance by George Takei (Sulu) doing the opening commentry and some very wooden acting. It was a great concert and even that Philistine Richard enjoyed it.
