went to see chicken john’s circus redickuless a couple weeks ago. plenty of silliness for everyone. this is a photo of seahorses jumping through a hoop.
had lunch at goat hill pizza with gabrielle and tim last weekend. gabrielle likes making faces.
finally set up flickr to post to reidspice.com so we’ll see how this looks.
saw a lovely puppet show in chicken john’s living room last sunday. the evening started with “man-killers of india” and “ragnarok” by apocalypse puppet theater (oakland, ca), then we had a little vaudeville halftime show, and we finished off with “the black wallows foundling hospital” by the black forest fancies (new orleans, la). the black forest fancies were not only puppeteers but also excellent singers.
started the night at good frikin chicken and things went slowly downhill from there. happy birthday, karin.
jay recently became the proud new owner of a big green egg bbq grill/smoker. i have to say, the thing is impressive. and the pork shoulder and brisket he cooked on it was amazing. his homemade bbq sauce and “mustard sprinkler” didn’t hurt either.
caitlin had a party at her brooklyn apartment to celebrate the end of the season of retreats. in addition to the usual debauchery we also enjoyed a “balance the whiffle ball bat” game which went on for at least 45 minutes. i got some good practice trying to focus this new lens in low light (with mixed results).
on saturday i joined mike & allison for a quick trip up to connecticut to see oliver’s home town and have dinner with his parents. nice to be on the east coast in the fall..
