my phone rings...

On a Sunday afternoon between 1:00 and 2:00

I pick up the phone and I don't say "Hello".

I say "Hi Josie - how late are you running today?"

(today's 2:00 rehearsal will start around 3:00)

Everything old is new again

Was watching/recording an old show - the first year we did the Renaissance Weekend at the Nordic Hills resort in Itasca.

Wow - I was skinny - and SOOO much shorter than everyone else.

I'd forgotten the blindfolded drunken-monkey fight they wrote for Tim and Mark (and everyone else)

It was the first time I had ever played a villain - I'd forgotten just how cool it was when everyeone hissed at me, and cheered when I got my comeuppance.

Hee - I'd also forgotten the bloodpack that fell out of Eric's doublet and bounced across the banquet room floor! The joys of live theatre....

seamstrix was one of "the wenches".

Also on the same tape was a really bad copy of a fight demo we did at a local Trek con, with a very young geekymary demo-ing on quarterstaff.
