Merry Maple - Dec 1st

[tarapeze]

*EDIT*
We'll be meeting at 1pm (place TBA, but default outside the South Lounge in the Upper RCC) on Dec 1st to pull together our costumes, facepaint, toys, etc and see if we can't put together a quick circle show with the people we've got. Also, just to prep and talk and practice!

Hello all! So we're putting in an appearance Friday Dec 1st at the Merry Maple celebration in downtown Amherst. There's lots of stuff going on - choruses of small children, the UMass brass band, a gigantic tree-lighting, and apparently a troupe of unicyclists (awesome). We'll be there from about 4.30-6.30pm, depending on how things go.

We'll be roustabouting mostly, but it would awesome is everyone interested could meet up earlier that Friday (no worries if you can't, we'll fit you in) so we can throw together a short routine to do, so that we can present if we feel like it.

Otherwise, we'll just rove around, interacting with people, showing off skills and having fun, then follow the band in a parade. Woot! Post here if you're interested. I already know the following people are:

Me
Zoe
Jorie
Meggie
Juliana
Sarah Clark
Sairuh
Ali
Mai
Joe
Josie
Victoria
Phil

I am most definitely in ;D

I have class at umass from 2:30 - 3:20, which means i leave for the 1:40 bus and get back to campus right at 4pm... meeting starting at 1 is not really possible for me.

[tarapeze]

don't worry about it. we'll see you there. do you want us to work you into any routines we do, as an acroflyer/base, a solor poi bit or whatnot?

[photographermolly]

I want to be there, I could stilt around and stuff...

but here's the thing, it's supposed to be really thunderstormy friday afternoon, and I'm assuming this is an outdoor event... if the weather's looking too sour, should we just have regular playtime in the south lounge?

[Blue Hair Sar]

hmm, I swear I posted in here, but it didn't show up so...


I'm going to have to back out of this one, I have too much going on right now. My appologies.

And question: how will this effect friday's playtime?

[tarapeze]

playtime's still on, for definite - especially with our special boston guests! it's just that those who're street performing won't be there.

but i'm coming to the friday midnight burn!

So it was rescheduled to today even though we already performed last friday - but I'm pretty sure we told them we were not planning to be there, in case anyone is still wondering.

With wind chill the temperature is 5 degrees - quite a bit chillier than street performing in 60 degree weather last week! So come to regular playtime.
