And apparently pays at least as well if not better than NYC or Boston.
From the ASO's website:

The ASO's total annual minimum compensation for the 2024/25 Season is $100,024.12

  • Winter Season Salary: $2199.38 per week for 42 weeks (Sept. 8, 2024 – June 28, 2025)
  • Summer Season Salary: $365 per week for 10 weeks (June 29, 2025 – September 6, 2025)
  • Supplemental Compensation: $4000 (total for the 2024/25 contract year)
Atlanta is still (relatively) cheap. You get the minimum plus a few students you could be comfortable.

Really puts into perspective how broke San Antonio is.

The father of one of my wife's friends was in the symphony for years, and she remembers he had like 4 side jobs- teaching, playing events, some sort of custom instrument making business, studio gig work, etc., and their family was still scrambling to keep a steady income.

HP Lovecraft: At the Mountains of Madness, 1936.

"Certain lingering influences in that unknown antarctic world of disordered time and alien natural law make it imperative that further exploration be discouraged."

As a novella of just 124 pages this was still noticeably more cumbersome than the other short stories of his that I've read (and it was initially rejected for publication when it was first written in 1931). Still, an interesting read, especially for its impact on later works like Who Goes There?/The Thing and Alien. In the public domain now and I got a newish decent enough copy from Hythloday Press with a nice cover painting by Ernst Kirchner - Mountains in Winter, from 1919.

Below is the awesome 1936 cover.

I was there in early fall. Lots of panhandlers and all the billboards downtown were for Personal Injury lawyers.
