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.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

... 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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Right ON, Erin! That is totally awesome. You are a hot educatin' mama!
Mr. Killer, sir, you need to go back and d'l all the Numb3rs eps so you can criticize all the math and I can parrot it to my friends and appear superior. Last ep was fun because it used to observe is to change, yay.
All I can criticize is the chalkboard/whiteboard/window conundrum. I myself prefer the whiteboard, but that is because the FBI will not let me write on their windows.
Meanwhile, I like the show, I like just about all the actors, and the female agent appears to have brushed her hair. So it's all good.

Saturday evening at Chez Zmayhem. I'm loading songs into iTunes. JZ is dancing around the kitchen to Jonathan Richman. Emmett's watching Tom & Jerry cartoons and doing Wm. Blake temporary tattoos.
