1. Anything with swooshy skirts. I'm really not a fan of dancing in hoops, which is yet another reason why I shall never work Dickens Fair. The last period ball I attended in hoops was a Civil War re-enactors guild annual function. We were all polkaing merrily about when my aunt Holly collapsed in gales of laughter, yammering something about looking like "a bunch of bloody bumper cars."
2. I have not seen said rendition. It is loading now. I've never fully grasped the appeal of the Bohemian Rhapsody, as I was raised in a cave (figuratively) and missed that entire decade. Beaker's Ode *is* excellent, I agree.
3. Lynne Herkimer, nee Ellison, teaches high school chemistry in Aromas (S of Gilroy) and is teaching a two-week intersession course in dance. As I understand she has 36 students signed up and is looking for anyone who would like to come and teach their favorite variety of dance for a day. Naturally, I thought of you. Her email is ellison21@hotmail.com. I would have given her your contact information, only I don't have any. She can also be contacted at eight three one, seven two six, two three three eight. I've warned her that you'll likely be in touch.
4. My favorite discovered food in Japan was a local specialty called okonomiaki. It's like eating the Japanese Flying Spaghetti/Cabbage Monster!!!
Hysterical video, but doesn't include the regional favorite ingredient of Chinese noodles. Beware asking for pancakes in Hiroshima - you'll be served okonomiaki.
5. Steampunk: I would, and often do, take the role of amused spectator. Steampunk is cool to look at and I am grateful for those who turn out to amuse me and mine, but I just can't seem to get myself worked up about it.
