I will go to great lengths for music. I have been known to fight my way to the front of the stage, wait in line for untold hours and become victim to the physical humiliation otherwise known as a pre-show "pat down," all in the name of music. However, in recent days, I have surpassed all levels of extremity in my concert going ways to attend one of the ultimate concert experiences: seeing a band play in their home city to a sold out crowd of local fans.

Working on a degree in English here at U of T, I've always been something of a snob when it comes to picking my heroes. Dickens, Trollope, Wilde...if they don't come before the turn of the century, I'm not buying it. But I'm breaking out of my comfort zone. This article is an ode to Aaron Sorkin: a modern writer known for his popular political TV drama The West Wing.
