Comments from Sally Wingert
I remember entering Rarig and always running to the stairwell to lean over and see who was in the pit. That space became our coffee shop, home room, map zone, information station and pretty much the place that allowed me to feel at home will attending the sometimes overwhelming University of Minnesota. I also remember Beth Gilliland and I doing breath by breath recreation of Thura Nyro’s Gonna Take a Miracle album just outside the Stoll Thrust. That whole lobby core in Rarig had a huge echo chamber effect. We thought it sounded great.

Sally - how good to hear you remember the PIT so vividly. Yep, I also recall checking out who was on the orange cubes below before descending.
I rememember in the Marat Sade dressing room, sitting near you doing make up, you singing serious Patti Smith and me singing some cheesy pop top 40 ditty and you giving me "a look"...
And didn't we all sing Amazing Grace acapella as a group before we went on?
Hope you are well and happy - if you see Beth G say hello. DiMenna, Ben McLaughlin, George McCulloch and I all stay in touch here in NYC (and with Casey via DiMenna).
