I was meant to fly back from New York, catching a connecting flight in Montreal. However, my flight out of Laguardia was delayed, meaning I would miss the second one. I was afraid the Air Canada would put me on a plane to Amsterdam or Frankfurt with a third flight home, but instead, they put me on a direct flight to Barcelona landing almost an hour earlier than originally planned. Yay, right? Well, they switched carriers and I ended up on American Airlines which doesn't have touch screens on each seat, meaning I was stuck watching the crappy movie they chose (Tower Heist) on a screen in the middle of the cabin. What is this? the 90's? I demand that while stuffing my face with plastic wrapped cheese ravioli I be entitled to choose which crappy movie I stare at blankly.
Anyway, the awesome intercontinental caper that was my August was capped by a 2 Skinnee J's show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Having had so much fun in May, we decided to take advantage of my time in Brooklyn to do it again. Really, it was an excuse to hang out with each other once more, and a splendid time was had by all.
Opening for us were the Wau Wau Sisters, a singing acrobatic comedy burlesque show, if you have to label them, and I highly recommend checking them out if you ever get the chance. I'd caught their act a couple of years ago, so I knew what to expect, but it was hilarious watching the audience reaction go from confused to amused to OMFG I can't believe that shit as the two performers gradually ramped up the spectacle, culminating in a trapeze show that rocked the house.
There is talk of new music and further shows, and threats of no further shows without new music. We'll see how productive a part time band that stretches from the Pacific to the Mediterranean can be.
In the meantime, it's back to reality. Laundry and groceries followed by getting into shape after a month of gluttony and GETTING A JOB all lie in my immediate future.
