1:04 pm - My old ballet buddy wrote a song!
|
Hey, friends, do me a favor and listen to Sara Rose's song on YouTube! She doesn't dance for my company any longer, but she's developing her songwriting skills, and I just wanted to point a few people her way, because, well, I know her, and she's pretty cool!
Cast between-shows dinner at Rutabegorz' - 2006
(She also gave me one of the best ballet-related quotes of all time after someone complimented her on her skill at avoiding a dropped hairclip during The Nutcracker...
"I've danced near live camels onstage, and if you can dance around camel poop, you can dance around anything!"
At any rate, here's a shout out for Sara Rose!

9:36 pm - I've got a new part in a ballet!
|
It's Joseph Guttierez's new piece, Macbeth, and I get to be King Duncan and DIE! DIE! DIE!
Yay for me! My friend Christine is my queen, (she gets to die, too!) and for the first time, I get to do some honest-to-god partnering! Almost a little mini-pas-de-deux! Christine is SO BRAVE! And very patient. She has to have strong ribs for the fish catch, because I don't always hit the right spot on the catch, poor girl... I can't wait for the next rehearsal, next Saturday!

8:52 am - Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July...
|
It's our usual Fourth of July vacation at mom's, and the Bridgeport, California parade was a as fantastic a piece of Americana as you could hope for, including people dressed up in trout costumes walking in the parade (photos later, I'm on dial-up... Which is why I can't look at your music links, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) co_cutthroat! Later this week though, I promise!)
The only photo I've taken the phone-time to upload so far is from our usual post-parade Bridgeporter Inn people-watching spot, perched above the sidewalk on US Highway 395...
See you all soon, once we're back in the world! I think today we're going to drive in to Reno to find a specialty yarn store for the knitter in the family.

3:27 pm - Two Hundred and Forty Years...
|
That's roughly how many years of friendship these eight guys share...
We average thirty years apeice between each of us. That's pretty cool. These are some really great people. It was a fine thing to have everyone in one room again!
Mark, Glenn, Kell, Bob, Jeff, Patrick, Joe and Sterling
I love my friends!

8:33 am - Half a century gone! On to Round Two!
|
I stopped at my usual coffee place on the way to work, and the morning team had made me a decorated cupcake and platter (“Happy Birthday” spelled out around the cupcake in chocolate syrup), and Lovely Linda, the girl on the left, had even dashed in from home on her day off to help present it to me!
Linda, Margie and Matt ROCK!
There's going to be a work celebration later today over at City Hall, but I'm really looking forward to sushi with friends tonight, and Open Mike Night shenanigans after that! The closer I get to quittin' time today, the better the day is gonna get!

8:32 pm - San Francisco...
|
After visiting a pretentious little bookstore (City Lights, they're FAMOUSER than YOU!) we stepped down the street for a pint of Russian Imperial Stout at the San francisco Brewery. This is the view from in front of the donut shop next door...
I love the verdegris...
San Francisco is very overcast and windy and chilly this weekend...

2:14 pm - More pro photos...

In lieu of anything pithy to say, (not exactly my strong point, anyway!) I post a photo!
More from the show if you click on the photo, I think... It was SO FUN!

12:21 am - Me, trouble?
|
At this morning's ballet class, Lois separated Jana and I into the two different groups for the floor work so that there "wouldn't be any trouble."
I love Lois.

4:38 pm - Where's Mary
|
Well, the first show at Table Ten in Fullerton was a success! Neal's son Brian recorded the songs using a pair of stand-alone mikes. Mark put them up on the SoundClick page for the band...
Where's Mary music page on SoundClick
Happy listening! My apologies for all the clinkers, clunkers, random harmony errors and the atrocious tinwhistle episode during "Cripple Creek". I blame myself.
But I'm pretty happy, overall! We had a great night, and look forward to the next gig on the 25th of April!
In other news, yesterday, APril 1st, was, according to one of my knitting buddies, the First Annual Wear-A-Moustache-In-Public Day.
My ballet friends are awesome...
