JULY 19

Thanks to Scott for assembling a memorable night. Things happened that don't usually go on in this bad-khakis swamp.

BoyZone made gymnastic racket, shaking ribbon of sheet metal for dinky thunder, cutting themselves with it sometimes. Members happily hijacked other sets later on. Breaking down audience barriers, offending, loosening up.

Eagle Ager created simple elegant tableaux with their cardboard prop hoard. I doubt most people would describe them as elegant- but they struck me as that when they held still, girl perched on boy with wings, horsehead character standing behind them in corner.They were remarkably focused considering how wacked they could be. When they all ended up under a pile of their stuff at the end, and a single hand reached out into the light to shut off the boombox, it was a moment.

Slim Castle was good except my video didn't work.

Rebecca's Chic Nerve ended stuff in a classy red way with Ginger body help Everybody felt balloons finally.
