Keep Your Eyes Open!

12/9/07 – Mocha Cabana, Lethbridge, AB
I love it when I see huge groups of friends in the crowd. Well, I love it, and I’m nearly blind with jealousy simultaneously. What lucky ducks these folks are who have more friends than Friends!
Tonight one of these troops became my Lethbridge posse but we’ve yet to develop a gang sign. Although I’ve played piano for most of my life, it seems I’m not that versed in urban hand manipulation. Please send suggestions! All I’ve come up with so far is an ‘L’ (for Lethbridge) with thumb and index finger, held proudly to one’s forehead, but I have a feeling that one’s already taken.
How’s this for hard-core?
My new friends called me “cutie” and “sweetie” and I felt like I was one of the crowd. After some Sherlocking (care of your favorite stalker zone and mine: Facebook) I find out that I am almost a decade older than them. I’m blessed with a baby face and an elf-body and am consistently in a state of disguised adulthood. I relate to that creepy little girl in Interview With The Vampire, but I’m pretty sure I drink less blood than she does.
Apparently she and I DO share a conviction of our immortal status. Click the image below to see me tempt fate (and squeal for two straight minutes).
Hey, Princess Catherine. how are you doing, I can’t wait ’till the 21st!
Your blog is so awesome, I saw the video; holy crapness that would be really freaky! You sure were yelling a lot I don’t blame you, what if he made a mistake? Anyway see you in arround 8 days, bye.

I made a mistake, instead of putting a comma on the first sentance, I put a period; ha ha ha (it’s not that funny, whatever)bye again

Heya G The F…
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking: what if he made a mistake?! But he was super cool and despite my yelling, I did trust that he wasn’t going to hurt me. It’s a different story when you’re lying on the ground with spinning flame in front of your eyes. I can see it from a different perspective now…
Cat girl,
I don’t have the plug-in and I shouldn’t download here (work laptop, acceptable use policy, and all that). However, I can both imagine and understand the stated vocal modulations you emitted.
Warning: Should I display sharp knives or burning torches that I claim I am about to juggle, move away with dignified haste. I don’t spend enough time practicing these days.
Good to see you back on the tour. Keep it light and stay healthy.
Thinking you a web hug,

P.S. Have you got through “Zen” yet?
So I think you may have missed this in watching the video but right after I threw it up in the air….. my arm was on fire for a lil bit (maybe we all are a little to intense).
We can’t wait till you come back here so we can take you out for a real night of firespinning.
Your Lethbridge Posse
PS Did he like the video game? *crosses fingers*
Joey,
Re: Fire Video – I just checked out the video again, and yup, sure enough you are on fire momentarily. Can’t say you don’t suffer for your art…
Re: Video game – When I was in Lethbridge last, Joey was kind enough to jog home and return to the venue before we were finished packing up in order to give me a PS2 game, Kingdom Hearts. Technically it was a gift for a very special little boy in my life, but I didn’t let him play it for a long time because I didn’t want him to screw up MY Kingdom Hearts game by accidentally over-writing it (which happens from time to time in our household…). It’s pretty awesome. And dangerously addictive!!
Doug,
Thanks for the warning. I’ll make sure to stand back a generous 15 to 20 feet should you attempt a spontaneous self-combustion. And I wouldn’t want to be at the table should you get a little too expressive while singing along to “The Knife Song”… Although a little pantomimed practice could effectively help your technique!
