At this party last night I saw Terry the Amazing Juggling Man again, and we were sitting in the rain as he told me how little sleep he'd had whilst pulling flaming juggling instruments out of his bag and laying them on the ground as if he was going to juggle them. It was late and he was talking about how he'd waited too long (well, fallen asleep) and now the person who had really wanted him to do a show had already left.
"But I like the stayers," he said, referring to the people who stayed on late into the party. "I associate better with the stayers. Its like sitting through the credits of a movie until you get to that little bit right at the end, and sometimes that's the best bit in the entire thing. Maybe I'm that bit. ...or maybe not."
