Feeling Groovy,

This long weekend was really disappointing weather wise. Things were cloudy, rainy, and generally pissy. My acts still got shows in though!

My work-weekend as OK. I had my first gig since the teeth were removed on Saturday - a great walkabout gig as a court jester at the Children's Museum. I pulled out this killer outfit for it.. pin stripe blue and red bellbottoms, a blue and red pin-stripe white shirt, blue/red vest, and a blue polka dotted tie. Throwing on a jester hat completed the outfit, (photo coming soon) and had me looking great! I have to shoot some photos of me in that outfit. The gig was great, a perfect ease - back into work.

Saturday was also my first day eating real food, drinking booze, and having a party! it was wicked.

Yesterday was my first circle show since the wisdom removal. Before the show started I did a little test as to my range - yes a torch fit in the mouth, but it was a bit snug. Blowing up a balloon was really painful - i shouldn't have even tried. I did the show.. ended up eating a torch at the end (the crowd was right behind me).. In my head i was thinking "I can bail on this and just blow it out... but the crowd was right into it, and i thought.. well it will fit." The torch was no problemo - funny how the fire didn't hurt me, but the balloon animal did. After the show (i got it in a little bit late) I was wrestling with my desire to make money, and the throbbing bad feeling in my mouth. I made the call that it wasn't worth it, and that i should just pack it in. This ended up being the right call, as on my way out to the highway it started to drizzle. So even if I had started another it would have been rained out.

Then puttered around, had coffee with friends/performers, popped my head in to Jon's little birthday party, then met up with Carrie and headed home.

Today, gauging the not-so nice feeling i've got going on in my mouth, and the pissy looking weather I think i'll be watching the New Star Wars in the theatre today with Carrie. Maybe that and working on the garden. I might add a few Tylenol 3's and some ice cream in there to make my mouth feel better. Life is good.
