Yesteray (Saturday) Carrie & I woke up without incident bright and early. Heather & Melissa came over around 8:30 or so and the three of them went out for breaksthefast and then took Heather to the Bridal Show at the Tacoma Dome.
I dropped Nicole's handout off at the store and then came home. Taisha stopped by a while later and returned all the stuff she was borrowing from me, as well as dropping of presents for both me and Carrie.
Carrie came home even more while after that, and we two walked to Starbucks to get her coffee and a newspaper. They had coffee, but not newspapers. So we walked to the Neighborhood Market, but they were outta newspapers as well. So we walked back home without one.
Carrie pretty quickly fell asleep and slept the whole entire afternoon. Leia called and said that she and Kedar were watching the final-ever episode of Buffy and the disc conked out as soon as Willow starts casting her big spell. They dind't know what happened during the last ten minutes of the show! So I said she could borrow my disc of that.
I showered, packed up, ate a leftover salmon patty with cheese, and left for Fools Play. Geoff & I were the only two who could make the show last night because Taisha was moving and Mike was helping her, and Ed has time-off stuff goin' on. So it was just a two-man show.
Actually, it almost wasn't a show at all. We performed for the smallest audience I think I've ever performed for. We were this close to just cancelling it, but instead we had a par-tay. And it was a lot of fun, what with Nanamo and Satchmo both showing up.
See, what happend was that last week everybody came to be in the audience. And I do mean everybody. Now, a Fools Play audience consists mainly of regulars and irregulars, with every once in a while some new people. Regulars you can count on to see probably about %75 of the shows. Irregulars come probably once a month or less. But there are a lot of irregulars, so usually you can count on there being a handful at each show, because they don't all show up at the same show.
Except that last week was FPRL. So all of the irregulars and all of the regulars were there, pretty much. It was a jam-packed audience. So this week none of the irregulars showed up and only a very small handful of the regulars showed up.
But, as I said, it was a lot of fun to do a show with just Geoff. We gave our tiny audience a full two-hours, baby!
Afterwards I followed Geoff (who was driving Brandy's car) to Brandy's mom's house so he could leave her car there while Brandy is back in NY. Then I drove Geoff back to his place and we listened to Victor Wooten all the way.

Sorry for not being there! Cassie, Katie, Jim and I had all gone up to Canada for the weekend. We had wonderful Greek dinners, and saw an English street performer. I ♥ live performance - he said, after he performed, "Street performance is the most honest form of entertainment there is. It is done for young and old, rich and poor, whoever walks by on the road, and is rewarded with whatever the audience believes is due." This was a bit after he had asked, "Are there any Americans in the audience," Jim and I whooped, and he said, "Good! Because I love American …money." Great character.
