R.U.N.E ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED
Before heading to Symphony Orchestra Augusta’s Saturday night performance of pieces by Bartok, Floyd, Verdi and Berlioz that features internationally acclaimed baritone Jeffery Wells, you might want to head over to Nacho Mama’s Thursday night for an unusual event called Cocktails and Clever Conversations. Those attending can drink margaritas (top-shelf, of course), have some Sunburn Nachos (with pork, if you know what’s good for you) and discuss Thomas de Quincey’s “Confessions of an English Opium Eater.” Considering the place, the book and the tequila, Symphony Orchestra Augusta has promised that talk of the book and how it influenced the art and music of the period will be lighthearted. And to make it even more difficult to refuse, they’ve even pointed out that the book is available for free download to Apple iOS devices and that it’s short. Short is good… if it’s a book. We prefer tall when it comes to margaritas. Cocktails and Clever Conversations Nacho Mama’s, upper floor Thursday, November 1 | 6 p.m. Passion’s Voice First Baptist Church of Augusta Saturday, November 3 | 7:30 p.m. | $10-$45 706-826-4706 | soaugusta.org 1NOVEMBER2012
