At Friday’s Viennese Ball (which was, incidentally, beautiful and fun), Decadence performed a fusion dance piece combining Bhangra, an Indian dance from the Panjab region, and Schottische. It was very energetic and entertaining, and what made it work for me was the music, which was incredibly lively and catchy and rhythmic. So I poked around [...]

Johari
I got this from and it seems like a nice idea: http://kevan.org/johari?name=wyterabbit. If you fill out mine, I would be happy to fill out yours.
Trees
Today as I was walking back from Vaden, I was baffled to find that the trees along a pathway by Wilbur lot, a path I have walked many times, had all been chopped down. The remaining stumps were still naked and raw, and it made me sad. My instinctive reaction is best captured by analogy [...]

Good Night, and Good Luck
1). Has anyone seen this? I hear it is very good. 2). Does anyone have any interest in seeing it? I would like to, and it is showing at the very close by (if small) Aquarius Theatre, just off University. Thought this weekend, seeing as it’s long, might be a good time for a matinee [...]
