On the way to the show we saw one of the new anti-graffiti posters which was cause for much hilarity.
Needles-and-Pens is my new favourite neighborhood store -- it's an artists' collective selling hand-made clothing, accessories, artwork, and zines. And, it's often open with the Low Gallery.
It's once again the end of the week, and I haven't been able to post that much. Busy, busy, addicted with Flickr, and glad that Friday's almost here. I've been rehearsing until 11pm this past week -- my Capoeira group has a mid-day performance tomorrow and we've been turning on the steam for these last few meetings. Some random notes: my body's having a bit of a hard time, I think, adjusting to the new schedule of Capoeira M/W/F/Sat and Loose Change Tu/Th. For the former nothing more than 1 or 1/2 a PB&J often suffices for getting me through that night's training session; for the latter I need something more substantial (carbs and protein?), and getting hungry halfway through practice causes me to lose massive amounts of concentration and focus for learning new choreography. In Capoeira I am familiar with most of the movements, and there are usually not often that many (new) patterns, or sequencias, to remember. In LC, however, we are in full rampup mode for the show, and have the goal of learning 7 minutes of new choreography, plus staging, per week. If your typical dance class is an hour and a half, and you learn perhaps an average of 1 minute of new choreography each class, it's like cramming 3.5 classes in one rehearsal, in addition to lindy choreography tacked on at the end of the night. I need to learn to eat differently, to keep both strength and stamina up.
