rowanf | Pomba dance & Mime Troupe

Saturday evening was Kat's Pombagira dance. There were about a dozen people and lots of wonderful food and music. (Kat said this was Boomer Pomba - lots of great oldies were played. LOL) I had been afraid it would be too hot to dance but Oya had sent cooling breezes (erm, winds really - I had such a headwind driving up there that my mileage was terrible... and we prius drivers watch that sort of thing!) I went in and out of trance and didn't have any particularly profound experiences. I did have a nice conversation or two with some people and some Pombas. *grin* I managed to stay awake for the whole 9-midnight dance but was very grateful that I had carpooled and could be less than attentive on the way home. And 2am is a time I seldom see. *yawn*

Sunday Russell and I headed up to San Francisco for an afternoon of the SF Mime Troupe's political theatrics in Dolores Park. It was good, though not their best. The day was amazingly warm for San Francisco, no sign of Saturday's wind. Russell asked the guy who played an amazing Dick Cheney afterwards how long he had been with SFMT and he said 21 years. We have been coming long enough that we recognize him and several of the other longtime folks. My first SFMT show was one of Hotel Universe with Beth in 1977, though I remember the Fact Wino shows of the early 1980's more clearly. They have done some great theatre over the years.

Whilst we were in the Park I grabbed a cache and got rid of a travel bug I have had for way too long. I haven't been caching much at all lately. Partly I'm busy in SL but also Google Earth isn't working with the geocaching kml file and I find that a big barrier. One gets so spoiled! I was nice to find a nice big cache in such a busy place!
