He said he'd seen her on the Disney channel. While we were talking, a woman named Scarlet Cheng came up and said hi. Scarlet is a freelance journalist who used to live in the DC area. Needless to say, I was a little surprised to see her. She'd just finished interviewing Vanessa Mae for a paper, called Asia Times.
Last couple notes about the performance.
For that she played her Guadagni, one of these Italian-crafted violins from a couple hundred years ago. I've little to say about her dress, except to say that it was unremarkable. She wore a black halter top dress with patterns of sequins sewn on, that looked anything but flashy. It almost seemed a bit worn. Her white boots, plentifully laced and without much a heel, reminded me of boots worn by professional wrestlers.
