Team Ramey Performs Yesterday

Hello Friends. For those who are not up on the latest news, Emilia and I did our first show of the year at Performance Works Northwest. It was not specifically our show, being that the above program cover says "Impetus Arts," but for a first time on stage as a team, it wasn't bad. :-)



The above page was an ad page, the 2nd page of the program, and the page below is the obvious one to explain. (Click any image to make larger) First on the program was Emilia, who was doing a staged reading of a piece she wrote about Taco Bell. "Going to the Bahamas" is about the desire to not be in a stressfull situation with a customer. It was a humerous piece that elicited laughter during multiple points in the performance. Second on the program was me, playing the keyboard a singing a song. I was planning on playing the Ukelele and singing, but I could not find it at the last minute, before the tech. rehearsal, so I became a piano player in the span of a week. (That day for the tech rehearsal, and then a week to polish) Fourth on the program was a little dance done by Emilia and I, not exciting, but we were trying out some new concepts that we will build upon.



Overall, I enjoyed our performance yeasterday, and thought it was a good barometer for the shows Emilia and I will do throughout the year. Emilia seemed to feel good about the show, and all is happy in Mudville. :-)



To celebrate our day, for dinner, we ate quail. Yes friends, by the grace of our maker, we acquired, through a lovely asian woman that talks a mile a minute, six of the wonderful birds. (They are about three bites a piece so that is a meal) I stuffed mushrooms up their hind ends, baked them with some carrots, and they were wonderful. I laid them on a bed of rice noodles and served them to my wife and the rest...it involved chewing, sowallowing, and wiping the grease off our fingers. That was our yeasterday.




Hope alla y'all's days are good today.

Peace out

Jody
