Composing in Brooklyn!

Follow me for the month of July 2009 (and maybe a tad before and after) as I travel across the continent to get waaaay overheated while working on my Symphony No. 2 and Missa Brevis Pro Serveto in a temporary studio in Brooklyn. Will I succeed? Will I die in all that foreign humidity? Will it effect my compositions? Shall I pack some shorts? Will I wear socks with my sandals? And, after a long hot day of composing, will I check out Broadway? The Blue Note? Moma? Lincoln Centre? Just how much inspiration can one person take? Will it be muggy? Will I get mugged?
