Bionic Teutonic

This weekend, I’m going to be volunteering at a festival that some people I know put together here in Seattle, called the Decibel festival. I’m looking forward to it, as by all accounts, the festival has been amazing the last couple years. The lineup is great and there are some killer workshops being put on. Yesterday, we had a big production/ tech meeting, and at one point, Sean, the main organizer says “Well, most things will be fairly straight forward….except for stage management at Chop Suey on Saturday”. Hmmmm, that would be my job. I should have plenty of help though, so I’m sure it will be fine. Fingers crossed.

Yesterday, we also had a couple of friends over to watch an old British movie that was recommended to us called The Wicker Man, which was awesome in ways I’m sure the original film makers weren’t going for. The basic premise is that a Christian cop goes to a Scottish island to investigate the disappearance of a girl on the island, and discovers that the whole island is populated by a bunch of pagans! And it just happens to be May Day! Dancing and singing! Naked fire rituals! Sex in the meadow! Hippie music! I won’t give away the ending, but I think all this was supposed to be quite shocking to the movie going public of the time (it was billed as a horror movie), but I kept thinking “hey, it’s just like our summer campout! Those are MY people!”

Also, tonight I have my first aerial class at circus school! I’m so excited about this. I can’t wait.
