On Saturday. It was great fun! I rode (well, almost) a unicycle for the first time. I learned some “claymotion” juggling moves”, and got to see some really amazing acts at the show in the evening. It felt good seeing the acts here because I knew that they knew they were “among friends”.

Take a peak at the fun sign they put on the bathroom door.

And  Charlotte even won a door prize! She won a set for 35 juggling rings! And she had been mumbling about how it didn’t matter what she put in for, should doesn’t ever win anything. Well that’s not true anymore! We’ll just have to put this prize in the closet next to the Lady Ada Mini-POV kit she won at Instructables last year :-)))

At the Saturday night show was:

Kevin Axtell  – who f’ing rocked.

Baby Doll – who has a terrific act and is certainly not just another hooper. Professional, fun, good choreography and sexy too :-)

Pink Man – who is wonderfully insane

A young juggler named Noah who can juggle balls behind his back and clubs behind his back via his legs… wow! (he’d throw them down through his legs and they’d wrap and he’d catch them at his shoulders or somesuch)

John Foss  –  a class act!

the  Humboldt Jugglers  – had such a tight act… it was beautiful seeing the four of them work together.

The Stanford Juggling Research Institute

Dan Holzman,  Matt Hall,  Curt Carlyle,  Iman Lizarazu, and  Mountain Mischief,  Ashley Foster…

Oh and thanks to Marc Hertlein who invited me!

Just before I left to visit family, Charlotte and I made it to A Taste of Greece at Annunciation Cathedral. Man, galaktoburikos (spelling?) is an incredible desert! And tiropita! Wow.

Kaiju Big Battel is coming to San Francisco November 19th!

A little east coast craziness added to this west coast insanity.

I’m not sure if I’m going. I’m miffed that the Ticketmaster service fee costs fully 40% of the ticket.

Update 12-1-11: This program is permanently on hold as I don’t have AT&T residential service anymore.

Here’s how to save $25 on your new AT&T wireless service.
It’s called the AT&T Refer-A-Friend program. You can see the program here. AT&T will give each of us a $25 gift card when you sign up. Here’s exactly what to do:

1. Sign up for AT&T wireless just like normal
2. Email me at “Lee at Lee dat org” telling me you signed up
3. I will send you a Refer-a-Friend email from AT&T
4. Fill out the Refer-a-Friend form on the AT&T website and tada, we both get $25 from AT&T in about 2 months.

It’s all got to happen within 30 days of you signing up for service so don’t delay. You can read up on all the details but all the important bits are right here.

Whudya say?

He calls over to the bartender and asks him for a beer and a mop.

For my birthday, Charlotte got us tickets to see Laurie Anderson in Berkeley on Friday Oct 24th! Wee!

Update 11-1-08:

until now (via slide show):

holy crap.

Spinning Wheel by Blood Sweat and Tears

What goes up must come down
spinning wheel got to go round
Talking about your troubles it’s a crying sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel spin

This website has recipes that I have been collecting, mostly from my grandmother Ida. It’s a family work-in-progress. Take a look.
