"One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready now go cat go."
--Blue Suede Shoes, Elvis Presley

I forgot to mention that I finally saw Lilo & Stitch. Not only did it rock my world, it's further proof that more movies should prominently feature Elvis Presley. The Self-Made Critic has his review here, in case you don't believe me.

This weekend I went to a free performance at SummerStage with Ayla and Karina. The headliner was Kodo, the world's most famous Taiko drummers, all the way from Japan. Was really looking forward to this show. Opening for them was Festival of Mongolia Ensemble, two chicks and two guys from Mongolia. They did some traditional dance, played traditional instruments... the two guys did throat singing. If you've never heard throat singing before, its the creepiest thing. Its like having a didgeridoo lodged in the back of your throat. One person can make two different sounds at the same time. Not only that, but they can play a wind instrument at the exact same time. That scares me.

Now, we have two groups highlighting Asian cultures on the bill, with room for one more. Given that we have a really strong theme going, what would be the perfect third group to perform?

If you said "Triple Threat DJs," you're an idiot. But you're also correct.

I have absolutely no idea what the thought process was in deciding this. I might never be able to. Near as I can tell, its due to the fact that if you continue going East past Mongolia and Japan, you'll eventually get to San Francisco. I dunno. Anyways, they played between the other two. It was fun, despite the fact that it wasn't their best performance - they said so themselves that it wasn't, which I can respect. On the bright side, they managed to mix Queen, Blondie, and two different Sugar Hill Gang songs in the same five minutes. Watching people was half the fun. There was this one Asian chick dancing in a bikini top and denim skirt and rrrow... I mean, um, yes, there were many interesting people to watch.

Later that day I met up with Sasha, and got me a third earring. It's another hoop behind the others, nothing to be exited about asides from the fact that its a bigger gauge than the others, since Sasha convinced me. Maybe I'll stretch those, maybe I'll let this shrink to something smaller, I dunno. We'll see. Sasha got more work done, one earring, one orbital. It was more fun going this time, since the guy was really cool, talking to us the whole way through. He has problems with psycho girlfriends :)

Aside from that, I've been spending too much time at home since it seems that two out of my three games have been canceled indefinitely, mostly thanks to Matt's father. Damn. Matt's game might happen again if he gets some time, but mine is canceled for the summer. Very sad. So all I have left is Angel's Mage LARP. Why the hell does the damn thing have to be every other week? Never thought I'd want a game so bad to happen so often. At least NB has been picking up incredibly. Which is stranger than the rest.

One other thing that I forgot to mention is that Deanna rocks me. Happy now?

And then there was a riot.
