Saturday afternoon coming down

Last night I went into SF to see the 10pm performance of Joe Goode's Traveling Light at the Old Mint in SOMA. Randy got free tickets through TBA and even though I had plans to see Romeo & Juilet at LSF I decided to change plans and go into the city instead. It was a truly wonderful show that had the audience in 4 sections and moving from room to room. It reminded a bit of the middle section of Fefu where the audience travels to each of the rooms, however just like 2 characters went between rooms, most of the dancers last night performed in more than one piece. Randy and I both agreed that our order was the best. There was a nice arc and the flashiest piece from a technical standpoint was our finale. My head was spinning so it took me a bit to get to bed which made it even harder to get up this morning.

Since I was not called to rehearsal today, I decided to go to another Laughter Yoga session in Oakland. It was a smaller group and had a different energy. I liked some of the exercises, but preferred to do more laughing and less talking. The best thing is that I came up with an addition to Laughter is a River. And will now be playing with Laughter is a Geyser, as well. I planned to go to Chauncey's jazz class at The Beat afterwards, but I got caught in traffic and really just wanted to head home. I wound up being a few minutes late, but at the Ashby exit, I decided to just get off and go to class. It was a good one and I totally needed it.

As I sit on the couch, I am really quite content. I told Jerald that I would see his show tonight, but honestly, I really don't want to get up. I think I will do a bit of cleaning, watch some Harry Potter on TV and go to bed early.

While in the shower last night I decided that the cabaret I would like to do should be a retrospective of songs I've sang in cabarets past or were influences on my life. The list now includes: The Rose, I'm Not at All in Love (Pajama Game), something from Anything Goes, What Makes me Love Him, New York State of Mind, Midnight Train to Georgia, Sitting on the Dock of the Bay, Somewhere That's Green, Desperado, Hard Travelin', I Wanna Be Loved By You, Get Here, I Just Can't Wait to Be King, Miss Byrd, Taylor the Latte Boy, Valentine's Day, Branson, Annie Medley, Put Your Record On, If This Isn't Love, Old Man River and I'll Follow You into the Dark.

Gosh that's quite a list. Busy, busy busy. The creativity continue. But for now, I'll rest.
