h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

By Bels U188050

Index page is A1009207, where it states:

Project Name: Leonard Bernstein - Composer
Field Researcher: Bels U188050
Department: Music
Faculty: Arts
Start Date: 1 April 2003
End Date: 12 May 2003
Assisting Sub-Editor: I'll ask around.

Project Description

This project will be a greatly slimmed-down version of the original conception. There will be an introductory entry with a biography, and up to four further entries concentrating on selected Bernstein compositions or compositional genres. Candidates for inclusion are the Broadway musicals, the operas, the symphonies, the choral works, the avant-garde songs, and the sacred works. The biggest problem will lie in deciding what to leave out.

Contributing Researcher:
Gubernatrix U206615 ('West Side Story')

If this one goes OK, future additions or separate projects on this hugely influential figure can be envisaged, eg as
Conductor
Pianist
Educator
Writer
Influence on 20th C American Music
etc

This project is supposed to be starting today - no fooling

Sorry to have missed you Bels, I was out of the office yesterday. I'll make sure to add this to the project pages this afternoon (meetings allowing) or first thing tomorrow.

Thanks, Mina. This sounds most impressive. Does that mean it will appear on A611218?

Please note that the Assisting Sub-editor is Danny B. U182633

Hi Bels,

I've finally added you to the uni index, although you've been put into the new pages, rather than the old. Hopefully the relaunch will happen before the end of your project.

Where are the new pages - are they onsite yet?

Yes, you can find them here - C1058. I'm trying to update the Uni pages as we speak.

Well I'd better shut up and let you get on with it, then

We'll be downing tools shortly anyway to pack for the move back to Bush House. I'm trying to look busy so that I don't have to start packing merchandise.

Would that be from Kingsway to Bush House?

Yep, we are finally returning to our spiritual home.

Hi Bels,

I'm trying to find promising projects that we might be able to get on the Front Page as a project, how is this one going? You seem to have put a lot of work in.

It's finished. It's subbed. There are just a few typos in one of the entries that anyone could deal with if I give them the list.

I've just noticed that this was on the list that Anna gave me, I posted here before I checked it. Sorry about that! But 'Yes please!' for a list of typos.

I just checked. I didn't have time earlier. The typos have been fixed. Nobody told me. Nobody tells me anything anymore.

That's probably because it's gone through the Editors. Great work Bels.

Hey, guess what? My train came into Stratford on the wrong platform today. See, I'll tell you any old thing.

Somebody told me a good joke. See if you like it.

Q: What does an insomniac, agnostic, dyslexic person do?

A: They stay up all night wondering if there is a dog.

We liked that one.

We? Are you royalty then?

We are amused.
