Trading cards, comic books, bobbleheads, and such. I envision an orchestra card game ala Magic the Gathering. Get with it, orchestras of the world!

I mean, these are two people I never imagined worked together, and yet this gem exists nonetheless!

This right here is why I don't work in that part of the biz anymore (specifically orchestras). More than burnout etc, it's also a case of shouldering blame when something doesn't go right, while getting no credit when it goes well.
Screenshot from Musicology Duck, "but what i saw from my time in the biz was the many of the most talented people in many important areas of administration being driven out from stress, burnout, undercompensation and layoffs"

Eros here is also broken, and has zero interest in any human besides me. Unless you have cheese, then he wants the cheese

Watched this guy hunt and eat a pigeon. Chased the pigeon straight into the patio window, then watched it knock itself out. Free meal

Huh, quite the image result... Zaphod is described as "clever, imaginative, irresponsible, untrustworthy, extrovert, nothing you couldn't have guessed" in the books

It being an instant pot recipe, it comes out very liquid-y. Said liquid cooks down really nice the second and third and fourth day into a nice thick sauce
