you sound too hip to be "mainline" but that's cool
Dear OtherDan,
I AM too hip to be mainline!
I was gonna go to a UU church in PTown this morning but Sra. Cruz got sick and had to go to a doctor.
This congregation, in one of America's hippest towns, has organized voter registration.. all day every day on Commercial St. - one of America's hippest streets.
I did 3.5 hours of 'witnessing' voter reg. last week (registered over 30 people.. maybe 40).
"You may have changed your name. You may have changed your address. You may be living in another country under another name but ya gotta vote for somebody."
You wouldn't be bored, nor disgusted, Juan. You'd be laughing your tushie off! I had a WayDaler send me a copy years back, and almost fell off my chair at the intro...
"The Man of God...standing firm and erect at the bema..."
Now, the dancers do their best, and I always thought that MP was careful not to give her dancers things that were beyond them. But that is the point when you see Loy trying to dance -- she gave him the simplest moves, and he couldn't manage them. He lumbers around, looking like an ex-jock that got lost in a ballet studio, which is what he was. She has him standing still as much as possible. Just goes to show -- we make it look easy, but that doesn't mean it is easy.
The whole thing goes on for too long. Way too long. The writhing demon scenes had me muttering "bitten by devils" under my breath. I could never have sat in the audience with a straight face, not even back then.
Dancingly,
Shaz
PS -- the Bates Dance Festival is back in town here, and I get some vicarious thrills. Those who can no longer do, buy a ticket! :) And my 5'10" son is going to take some classes from them starting tomorrow. Who'd a thunk it?

Maybe it should have been called, "Jocky Horry of the Spirit"
Yeah there is - with both things... P-Town ain't what it used to be and isn't exactly rated "G" anymore.... AOTS isn't exactly for kids either, even tho it was marketed as such.... coloring books, rainbow headbands and wrist bands for the kids.... if HQ Bookstore has anymore of those headbands and wristbands left over, maybe they can sell 'em in P-Town.

Good point...I'll never forget walking around at the roa and seeing coloring books with lcm in his superhero costume on the front cover...I remember thinking at the time "good grief, Martindale has turned himself into Aquaman"
and this monstrosity of a performance was being marketed to the kids!...Unbelievable! Hey kids...watch the mighty Aquaman squish the devils from hell as they swarm and gyrate all over the stage like lurid little sex demons...wasn't it about this time that the sex orgies with the teenagers happened at tent city at the roa?
Perhaps, more than any other event...the AOS performance demonstrated how nuts lcm really was...How far the cheese had slipped off of his cracker. It was during this time that I began making my plans to slip out the back door and be gone.

My LC in TN used to talk about his wife who was one of devils spirits in the production and spoke about how she was one of the few AC only grads in the performance - I guess everyone had to be WC or some such standard...
Anyhow, I about choked on my coffee when she responded to the question about which type of debbil spirut she was.... "sensual and alluring".
Oh, whoot whoot.
Put that on your spiritual resume and smoke it....
P-Town will still be here... Podunk might not.
Long live P-Town, America's greatest town.... NYC is its greatest city.... IMHO
.... must confess, i fantasize working in, and living over, a diner in Cody, Wyoming sometime

If you're really into P-Town, maybe AOTS is right up your ally.

NOT that there's anything wrong with it, right?
PTown, a place where there is no discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. How refreshing!
I registered 20 new voters there this afternoon, while my teen kids & their friends climbed the dunes (where allowed).

Glad you like my sig.
What's "podunk"? As in, "small town America"?
Good luck on that diner gig - sounds killer.
