I honestly don't get it.  I knew this Festival was supposed to be starting Monday, but despite my entreaties for advance information, the presenters wouldn't provide any.  I'm sorry you (and I) had to miss the first day — but rest assured that the remaining shows are all well worth your time and attention, if you're interested in New Music (and if not, why are you reading this List?).  I understand the exigencies we're all working under in these troubled times, and that the presenters might be almost (they couldn't possibly be equally) as underfunded as I am.  But since I feel I owe you subscribers the best information possible, I wish presenters would get their shit together.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  At 2:30 in the afternoon, what you want is a A Room With a View:  pour 1 oz. each of dry Vermouth, Campari, and lime juice, and 3/4 oz. Simple Syrup, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Shake.  Strain into a Highball or Collins glass over ice.  Top with club soda.  Garnish with an orange slice.
