Doin' a Thing

Back in Brooklyn, back at work on the shows. All seems to be well at The Brick with The Film Festival: A Theater Festival, with the occasional technical hiccups and problems to solve (someone walked off with two of our Mac video adaptors, probably by accident, and Michael had to run quickly and get replacements for a show).

Back to work on the shows, Spell yesterday, Harry in Love today. Going fine.

A couple of pictures of the cats, as I missed them on Friday . . . Hooker lounging on a chair (and my jeans):

And Moni stretching up and grabbing my fingers in her paw so she can lick them . . .

And some videos of interest . . .

UPDATE: I just checked, and with some new thing YouTube is doing, if you want to see the best quality video, you have to go to the actual page for the video itself and click on "watch in high quality" - and it's worth it for the first and third videos below, so click on the embedded video below, and it should take you to the YouTube page, where you can click again and see it better)

First, Joe Cocker's Woodstock performance is closed-captioned for the soul-impaired:

And here, the animated Lt. Uhura has a new attitude (courtesy of overdubbed lines from Nichelle Nichols' blaxpoitation classic, Truck Turner):

( Open THESE hailing frequencies, honky! )

And I only just discovered this, but it's been going on for several years now -- Matt Harding has been traveling the world, and videotaping himself doing a silly little dance everywhere he goes. It started as a little personal joke on a first trip, then became a "thing," which he continued on a second trip, then was discovered as such things are, then he got money and a sponsorship from Cadbury to do it some more, with better equipment, in more places, to promote some gum of theirs, and now here's his newest video of stupid, charming dancing around the world, with a cast of thousands joining in (the earlier videos, and outtakes, and other videos from the project are available at his YouTube Channel, and are also worth watching):

Enjoy.
