A Word About the Weekend

[lilmissnever]

On Saturday evening, I continued my Mediocre Aerialist tradition. I put my (borrowed, half-length) silks up at a gallery in Alameda, where I did a 5-10 minute improvised set and a duet with a fabulous operatic singer, J. The ceilings were very, very low, which severely limited my repetoire and made separating the tissu at any height rather awkward

Still bummed I missed it, but so glad it was such a success. I definitely look forward to the next one.

Sounds like a very cool event! sushispook went and declared it thumbs up. I wish I'd known!

I am not very good about self-promotion. I mentioned the event to a few people and sent out a few invites, but I didn't do a mass invite because most of my friends will not cross the Bay Bridge for any reason.

You were brilliant.
And, you're a jerk and made me cry with this. :)

[lilmissnever]

It's true. I am an enormous jerk. We will work together on even bigger and more ambitious projects, and then my jerkiness will know no bounds!

[phreddiva]

Yes, yes, and YES!

The photos of you performing at this event were lovely. You definitely look like you know what you're doing up there. Bravo!

I am improving, even if that improvement seems to be coming at a glacial pace. In January, when new classes start at the Very Serious Circus School, I will take aerial straps. I think that I'm strong enough to give it a try, but weak enough that I could really benefit from the upper-body workout.

Sounds wonderful.
