broken circles, eye-gors, and chesterfield couches

[reverancepavane]

Today was the inaugural gig of Spiral Dance's new residency upstairs at the Director's Hotel (on Gouger opposite the Central Mail Exchange [near West Terrace]). It was a nice and relaxed gig (although this may be the influence of the spacious Chersterfield lounges), with a lot more slower numbers than the recent Yule Feast, which probably means I didn't break myself as much as I did at the Yule Feast (True! This time only my ankle is black from haemotomas, rather than the entire lower leg). Also, with comparatively few attendees (there were effectively only two new faces and many missing old ones), there was lots of room on the dance floor, so I could have fun with interpretive dance. Which probably scared or nauseated a few people. Although I had to stop singing along through much of the third set (my endurance is nowhere near what it used to be, so something had to give), few people to have fun dancing with and improvising off of, and a rather unexpected Metal influence from the Wing Chung Academy next door, which I shall be prepared for next time. These gigs will continue every second Saturday for the rest of the year, so do think about coming along and dancing with a mad dancey thing. There is a $5 entry charge, but eating a meal gets you free entry, and if you do go you get a $2 voucher for the next gig (and a $1 voucher for merchandise). Meanwhile Cock-Eyed Molly is playing at the Brecknock this Friday (18th). Also Spiral is playing at the Green's Halloween Ball on 1 Nov at the Queen's Arms. And Nick has a Minion of his very own! We are trying to teach her to lisp and walk with a limp and say "Yeth Mathter," but it is yet to take. I think it's time to introduce some more people to My Life With Master.
