Tuesday night follies

I see by the ol' kingdom e-list that the unfortunately named "Booze For Boobs" will be back at Crown.

http://www.salon.com/life/breast_cancer/ says a lot of what I'm thinking better than I can.  Except for the part where booze increases the risk of breast cancer.

Uh, thanks. I'm sticking with the food bank. A meal is an immediate tangible good.  Besides, I could stand to start skipping lunches once a week again.

New taiko course session started tonight and we started work on a new piece with what promises to be harder choreography and a swingy beat that will be fun once we get it down. The usual suspects - Bob, Tracy, Josh, Clint, Ryan and myself - all returned. Looks like a fresh crop for the 7:30 beginner class, all looking rather big eyed as we trashed our way through new parts on a rather complicated drum set-up.

Bike developed a new squeak on the ride home, probably because I brought her into the "dojo," parked her in the corner with the kick stand and she fell over as soon as I was half a dozen paces away. I righted her and leaned her against the wall instead, but there was a new noise which got faster and increased in pitch as my wheels spun faster. Might be a loose spoke light or a brake pad rubbing a tire or something. Too dark when I got home to tinker, so I'll give her a look tomorrow. And WD-40 the springs on the bike seat  'cause they creak.

And it was dark, the marine layer having rolled in and local sunset at 7:27 PM.  Traffic is light in town between 7:30 and 8 PM, which is about when I rolled into the alley to lock up. Not a bad ride., t

Speaking of taiko, I was speaking with my middle eastern drum instructor last night about GWW in general, and told him he simply MUST come to taiko with me at GWW. I sent a quick note to the poor A&S scheduler, who now has over 100 class titles to sort on the schedule, now that proposals are closed. I'm looking to make certain that the two courses are not offered at the same time (hee hee)... and so I can bring Charles with me to your class. :) I'm so excited!

If all else fails

...and the schedule wallah puts us in conflict, I would not be averse to a late afternoon informal jam session, should the opportunity arise.
