What seemed like a totally incomprehensible statement was perfectly understandable to me. "Mean Evil Heroes Boy? Of course!" I thought. He is a guy in her section. She coined the name because of his pretentious behavior during section. When anyone says anything, he laughs snidely, muttering comments under his breath...
Last Saturday night, having been misdirected by several liquor store clerks and having run through a labyrinth of dark streets, I arrived out of breath of at the Boston Conservatory of Music for a concert I was determined not to miss.
