Kazum Shows
We haven't done any paying gigs since White Album. We did a cool benefit for Clowns without Borders, which went really well. Everyone feels like it was our best performance of Piggies ever. Doc's doing a bang-up job, increasing his skillset constantly and drilling all the time. Dutch is taking a more involved role in group decisions and choreography - Uli seems to be handling that pretty darn well. Yay!
Here's a shot of the Candleabra from the CwoB benefit:
And here's Dutch's favorite stunt, the Big Sexxy:
Oh, Uli and Aspen separated. They're still friends, which is great. Uli's dating one of Emily's roommates, a dapper gentleman named Daniel. Aspen's seeing a girl named Emily who's one of Dutch's biker friends. I hung out with Aspen and Wacko just a week or two back, which was much fun. It ended up getting me and Clover invited to perform with them for Covers and Blankets.
Clover has been stunting with us (primarily me) heavily. We're moving forward with plans to teach Circus and/or Stunting classes at the Playground Gym, smack-dab in the middle of the Egg and Rose City Gym. Perfectly located. The Covers and Blankets gig was our first performance together. Honestly, it was kind of a train wreck. Rather than the opening Pop & Go Extension we downsized to a Chair - and still dropped the first attempt. *blush* Our timing was choppy, we agonized through a badly-off-balance Dead Goat spin, and we threw the Star prep too early twice before finally getting on beat with the music. The costume that seemed so fun ended up being a lot more lewd than I would've chosen if I'd been thinking about the venue. I'm not all broken up about things, but I'm disappointed in how things turned out. At the same time, it was our first gig together, with 2 days of prep-time, and it wasn't an official show, so it was a great gig to be choppy for.
Prior to that Kazum did Piggies for a private press show at the Bossanova, and that went great and was very well received. I'm still kind of surprised each time we do it - surprised that we can get all 7 people onstage and make it look good. I'm also very pleased that Kazum can function with 7 people and not rip ourselves apart at the seams. We've come a really long way since when I joined.
We did a photo shoot last Friday at the Someday Lounge. It was pretty sweet. I'm hoping to see and post some excellent stuff. :)
