the minstrels at the gallery - with apologies to j.t.

Spiral Dance will be playing at The Singing Gallery in McLaren Vale (South Oz) on Saturday 1 September 2007, from 8pm (doors open 7:30). $15/$12. The venue is cabaret style and BYO supper and drinks. Hopefully they will have some sort of rudimentry dance floor capability for those of us the music mooooves. Bookings are neccessary (0413 358 618), especially as the venue apparently has a maximum capacity of 80 or so. A table for 3 has been booked for myself, rowlirowl, and freyaw under my meatspace name. If anyone would care to join us, I'm sure you would be very welcome. I'll probably be playing musical chairs anyway. <grin> But that now leaves the important stuff – supper. So, my fellow, table confedéres, what would make the perfect supper? I'm thinking of bringing, at a minimum, a Mulots' Tarte Comtoise (and maybe some Pate Berechon and a large quiche – I still haven't worked out the illegal ingredient that they use to add flavour and taste to their quiche; nobody else can do so, so it must be illegal), although I shall also probably bring a Wattleseed, White Chocolate, and Macadamia Pavlova sufficient to inspire diabetes in any casual onlookers. It's time I increased my HbA1c anyway, it's fallen to something almost respectable. Anything else anybody wants me to bring? And what things are you wanting to bring? We still need some delicious entree and nibbles (something I'm very bad at deciding on, although I could drop by Kitchenhand) and more to fill the main course, me thinks. Edit: Hmmmm. Fondue? Cheese or chocolate? And will it be strawberry season? [I suspect not quite, so there goes the erotic decadent strawberry eating...] How many sins can we evoke at one supper? That is the question. <grin> And yes, freyaw still motoring along unthinkingly (when I'm lucky). If you want you can bring a blunt spoon and eviscorate me. It would probably make us both feel better. <grin> I love my patron goddesses very much, but sometimes they can both be a bit of b*tch, especially when they get jealous.

ROFL. I am glad that the SCi Fi channel decided to make series 2 of Eureka.

who stole all the K's

I have to admit I found Boris' first encounter with the librarian Greta in Mars to be quite interesting. The Russians have a wonderful ability to create a magical reality, and then ground it with absurdity. What can I say, but it works. Must remember to catch the whole film sometime I'm less busy.
