this is that scene in SOUND OF MUSIC where Captain VonTrapp starts singing Edelwiess... everyone broke out their cellphones. it was pretty magical. it did lack in the warm glow of lighter fire, which the last time I got to use was a depeche mode concert back in '98. but this at least doesn't encourage smoking. 
but i digress. despite all experiences to the contrary i got my inner optimist on and went to the sound of music sing along at the hollywood bowl. we got these little packets, an invitation to the ball for instance, and a confetti popper for when maria and gaylord finally kiss in the gazebo. and i sung every song and i got to heckle the nazis and hiss when that would be baroness came on the scene. i got there late so there was no pre-group bonding, so i felt like i was there by myself- but i say this as a testament to the staying power of the movie that i didn't leave early and everytime i booed or cheered it warmed my chilled by the hills of hollywood core. and when that nun was singing about climbing every mountain, i thought, by god, she's right.
Climb ev'ry mountain

I stayed at the hostel in Salzburg that shows TSOM every day. I think I watched it three times.

I am soooooo jealous! I heart TSOM. I would adore this - thanks for letting us climb every mountain vicariously!
maybe you and pen should plan a visit around this time... should you come to visit... um, sometime.
