After a 12-year hiatus from the Orpheum Theatre, The Cure returned this past Tuesday evening as the headlining act for WBCN's XMAS Rave. The mood was subdued through both of the opening acts, but once Robert Smith and his mates took the stage, the crowd (who sold out the venue in record time) gelled in collective excitement.

But subsequent encounters with Autoditacker reveal a genuine musicality that contradicts this initial impression...
...scheduling sections on Tuesday or Wednesday is light-years less important than getting a good section leader. Only by talking to friends who have taken the class can you do this. Once you find the name of a good TF, find her after class. Tell her you've heard rave reviews about her and must be in her section. She will accommodate...
