White Album Christmas 2009 - first show
We did two routines - Piggies (with seven people!) and Birthday. We were scrambling madly on Birthday up to a few days before the first show on the 12th, but we pulled it off quite well, as we always seem to do. Yay!
I've been doing a lot of after-hours stunting with Dutch, in the last few months. Monday Funday petered out as the weather got rainy, but after Kazum practice we almost always stunt for a few hours. Sarah (Dutch's lady) is a regular. Amanda is a girl Dutch met, and she came & stunted with me and Dutch at the Halloween Howl. She's amazing, and drop-dead gorgeous. But I was dating Mary, so she was super-duper off-limits. Clover is a new girl who just moved up from California, and she's an astounding stunter. She's circus-trained, with ballet background as well as contortionist & hand-balancing skills. Like virtually all of the girls I stunt with, she's smoking-hot, but it's all professional and I'm really excited about working closely with Clover to build some tight & impressive stunt routines.
Anyway, the first White Album show went well. A few timing issues troubled us, and a couple of stunts were wobbly. Dutch was very frustrated about dropping a chair, and Uli's toes got jammed on an airplane during practice. But overall... a very good show.
After the show was a wild afterparty at the Jupiter hotel, across the street from the Bossanova. I ended up spending lots of time with Amanda, and she stole my heart away. She had broken up with her boyfriend a week before, and Mary and I had broken up just hours before (at the show; 'twas a sad event). Amanda was heading back to Santa Cruz in the middle of the week, which left us both well-situated for a rebound fling. So, we had one, and it was amazing. We connected really well and I hope that we can stay friends, and hang out when she comes to visit. I'm trying to prepare myself for her to fade away, though... she's got a full life going on in California. I sure do treasure getting to know her, though. She's amazing.
I spent the next week moving and practicing, taking a mid-week break to spend Amanda's last night in Portland with her. We walked around downtown being an adorably cute new couple. We traipsed through Powell's, wandered through Pioneer Square, and I showed her the downtown accoustic amplification park and the fountain park across from the Keller Auditorium. It was a magical night, without any doubt. We ended up at the hotel where she was spending her last night. Her best friend & best friend's daughter were in the room, though, so we hung out in the empty lower hotel lobby for a few hours. It was really a magical evening.
And then she was gone. :( I am really glad I got to spend two concentrated bursts of time with her before she left, and I hope that we can remain friends despite the distance. I have a huge crush on her, obviously, and she returns the interest. But distance and time are sure to cool that ardor significantly.
