We just received an e-mail invitation for A Concert of American and Iraqi Classical Music presented by the American Embassy and the Iraqi National Symphony Orchestra for July 26. This sounds interesting and I would like to go. However it is being held at he Al Rasheed Hotel, which is on the outer edge of Green Zone and is off-limits to most KBR personnel. Only those with specific mission purposes can go there, like carpenters, plumbers, electricians, security or others who have work to do in those areas. One of the reasons it was made off-limits is it's proximity to the red-zone but more importantly, the fact that there was a suicide bomber that got in and killed several people about 4 years ago.
We have been given permission to go and there is a special shuttle that will take us there. I want to go but am I am a little reluctant. I'm going to think about this and ask around for some more information. Stay tuned.....
