Bowfire is very obviously influenced by Riverdance and its various offshoots. Strong Celtic themes, ensemble performances with solo breakouts, and a very simple stage all reminded me of shows I’d seen before. And then, of course, there was the stepdancing that three of the performers periodically broke into. Dead giveaway, that.

Hey, you looking for Kid ‘n Ewe?
Psst. C’mere.

What did the alpaca tell me, you ask?
I have no idea. I don’t speak Peruvian.

I just realized that with my migration to the new blog digs, I broke all the links to Visiknit (aka the Cable Grapher)! Whoops.

So I got selected for the jury. I suspect it was because I was juror #3 as we walked in for selection, and I didn’t say or do anything that was disagreeable enough for either side to eliminate me. I was a little shocked when they called my name to go sit in [...]
Today I was selected to sit on a jury. Whoopee.
And for some bizarre reason, they don’t allow knitting needles in the courthouse. I am in hell.
Okay, I’m migrated - this blog is now being served up by WordPress. I’m very happy about this. Hopefully we’ll see a decline in the whole comment spam thing…
I need to do a bunch of tweaking, but the (not very) heavy lifting is done.
