Sheryl, I love the FBB! I went to a show, eh, it was probably more than a year ago, and there were six Bitchin' Babes that night. It was such a blast.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Jen, you probably saw the reunion show. We saw that, too.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Heh. No, but there is a regular at the park who flies a quad-line parafoil from a cart. He can build up some impressive speed, but the really amazing thing is how he works his way back up-wind.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

... who flies a quad-line parafoil from a cart ...

Never let English stand in the way of your hobby...

If you ever see a guy holding both hands up in the air with a faintly panic-y expressions, while racing past you on something that looks like a chariot built by a bycycle maker, you will understand dcp.

the reunion show

Yep, that sounds right.

Saw a guy in a BtVS tee at the show, too. I don't know why I remember that random fact, but I do.

Oops. Sorry for the jargon overload, especially since I got it wrong. Turns out they are called "buggies," not "carts." [link]

They are called carts in WI. These Brits are always a little daft, like they think they invented the frickin' language, or something.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Farce is not for beginning directors. At least tech was short.

Golden One, have I read back far enough to get your reference? I suspect not.

Anyway... Directors. Pfui! We shall speak of them no more !

No previous reference. Just my day.

You'd think that for a college student's first time directing a show there might be a faculty advisor present for the first tech. Nope. Just me.
