Quick Update

It is 7:15 and we will soon head out for some good Mexican food. But I promised a report ASAP so here it it: Julia did not make it into the finals. Two Chinese girls, the fellow from Chile, a girl from southern Ca., and a thirteen year old guy from Pasedena participated in the final round and Meng Su from China went home with the $3000 grand prize. The other finalists each received $750 and the semi-finalists (including Julia) each received $500. Every young guitarist received a medal from Christopher Parkening. It was a wonderful day!

Hallmark finished up the interview at the very end of the day and we all finally headed home where, as I said, we met up with our hosts and will head out to eat. Rough life, eh?

More later...
