(no subject)

Several years ago Richard Kirstel played with us at the Ren Faire. You might remember him, late 60s, grey to white hair, deep baritone voice. He played Katherine Parr's father and the Commander (village "idiot") and I think Thomas Boleyn, among other characters.

He passed away this week after moving to Spain a few years ago. He will be missed. If you need more info on his passing, please let me know.

His obit from the Sun follows:

M. Richard Kirstel

[Age 71] The art photographer and teacher later turned to acting and portrayed characters from the city's past.

Oh dear! Weird Al Live

Ram's Head in Baltimore...May 8.

Really considering this. hee.

Does anyone think he would remember when I was his dancing Mrs. Potato-head?

a bruise a day...

So today, I have what appears to be little hickey's all over my shoulders and bruises on my hips and inner thighs. One would think I was getting lucky...one would be wrong.

I have just been rehearsing for the Really Exciting Show for Teatro at NCRF. Ow, owowowowowow. Acro coaches have been fabulous, though I would really love some more time to get my body to understand what the heck I am doing when I am upside down. I will get there. And my arms are feeling really muscular. Oooh, hubba hubba.

Oh, and I have a spiffy new sound system to go on the road with me and the crew.

Yesirree, it's going to be a show...we just need lots more rehearsal and physical time to get it worked out. Harmonies are being worked out, Kinks (the bad kind) are being removed, I am getting all excited for the new shows. Hope you are too.

See you all within the month?
