yamamanamaThis one's shorter. I think the schedule is kind of off because it never mentioned the Peruvian dances.
I overslept, exhausted from dancing, but that didn't really matter, and I arrived slightly late because there was police activity at State Street so I said "fuck it" and got back on the red line and then took the Green Line to Government Center and I said to myself that any more delays and I'd just walk to City Hall from Park Street.
I met a woman with a starfish and lily tattoo in process and a hat and gauged ears and a boyish look and my drawing isn't great and I didn't get her girlfriend because I had to get off at the next stop, although had I known, I wouldn't have. I drew a woman in an orange sari and midriff-baring blouse with a bindi and nose ring and her child or grandchild in a t-shirt and shorts and sunglasses. He's actually up to her shoulder when they're sitting but when they were walking, he's up to where he should be in the portrait so just pretend they're standing.
Kara says that I wouldn't like it if she drew me. Because she's a really sucky artist. Maybe she's Drow in disguise… nah, Drow isn't nearly self-depreciating enough. Kara was super-impressed with her jewelry. Ashley was impressed with her sunglasses. She wore only an elephant pendant and a dress obviously.
Ashley said it rained in Worcester when she was there and said I was lucky because I didn't get rained on last night.
Jeff writes and says that English was always his favorite subject in school but he's lazy he says.
Taylor had pale green hair and modeled a dress made from recycled leftover fabrics.
Phil Berman plays guitar, Sue plays fiddle, Horace plays upright bass. They sang about how ruthless people make it to the top but life is not a competition and about giving tours at Bunker Hill and songs about making dimes and giving the boy a dollar hint hint.
The Sacred Tai Kwan Leap Fighting Martial Art Organization or whatever put on a display of martial arts that didn't actually include the practicing jumping twenty feet up backwards into a tree kung-fu, but that requires a lot of specialized training and focus. One guy had nunchucks or maybe the Korean equivalent of nunchucks. Actually, it looked more like a sānjiégùn. And there were swords and mighty swooshing noises.
There was a woman with purple hair and tattoos of peaches and roses in laurels and a key on her arms and a rosette on her foot who was associated with Tai Kwan Leap and their Feisty Slap Of Pain, or at least, with the Youth Brigade of the Heaven and Earth Association… I can't wait for the Avernum 3: Ruined World reremake, although it will probably arrive at the very end of 2017 at the earliest and more likely, early 2018. Ah, well, maybe I should play Avernum 3. I wonder if he'll remake Avernum 4, and I wonder what Exile style subtitle it would have.
I thought the two horses were part of the Inca or maybe Aymara troupe. The film festival inside City Hall was playing a film about the Andes so a troupe from Peru did some dances and a woman passed around roast corn to eat. Nope, it turns out they were doing pony rides. One of the horses had braids in his/her mane (I didn't look).
A woman had Rydia green hair transitioning to blue and then to purple. A woman had Rydia-green hair transitioning to natural brown. A man had bright yellow-green hair and I'm sure I've seen him around. A woman has Indiana Jones tattooed on her art, a man has a cartoon dog, a woman has Trust Your Struggle on her arm.
Faith plays mandolin, ukulele, acoustic bass, which you don't see very often, and Appalachian dulcimer, which isn't hammered like a cimbalom or a yangqin or santur, it's played sort of like a guitar where you press down on the frets and pluck the strings where there's a dip in the wood. Dan plays guitar. Together, they're called Dan & Faith, although they were positioned from left to right Faith and Dan. They write down song ideas and put them in a cup and then share them amongst themselves.
Belle of the Fall is Julia on acoustic guitar and Tracy on upright bass, mostly plucked but he used a bow in his last song or second to last song. They covered The Sound of Silence, which Tracy said "that song was written at Quincy Market one night when it was quiet, no, I made that up."
Sometimes Tracy gives out false information when he's in cities.
Julia has some words on her arm about thoughts and a yin-yang crossed with the symbol of Chaos, which is eight arrows pointing in the cardinal and ordinal directions.
Chaos might be her zodiacal sign or it might not be; I have no idea. But his sigil is different.
I thought I saw a third guy wearing a Belle of the Fall t-shirt. If he was a groupie, he wasn't watching their show so Julia should do her own version of Lady Pills' Despite and dedicate it to him. Or maybe it was just my imagination, or just any schmo in a black and white t-shirt. Their logo is really cool: a heart-mask, like that docent at the ICA's tattoo, like Majora's Mask.
The robotics people had a Lego robot that has a gyroscope inside and can balance itself if they ever figure out how to activate it. They made a robot that can toss a dodge ball and possibly spook the horses. There was a black box with a switch and when you turn it on, a curved piece of plastic sticks out, and turns it off. It does nothing else, except drives people mad thinking it's going to do something else. It's not going to transform if you turn it on a hundred times but it should.
There was a map of the world that people could color on. Someone made the polar bear purple with pink spots and kids put flowers in the ocean and had the kangaroo say "that's loud" to the guy playing the didgeridoo and gave the emperor penguins purple bellies and someone traced his son's handprint.
The Breakfast Project and Colorway are both indie rock bands. Come Back July kind of fits the mood. They ended with Telephone, though.
I didn't see everything, of course. I kinda wish they would do it like they did at Summer Arts Weekend, where the side stage people play while the main stage people are setting up. Zumba alone is not enough.
Livi was dancing, not funk dancing or funk dancing for self-defense or Indian dancing nor dancing meant for romances in mechanical dancehalls, but a twirly dance. Maddie, not Mattie, says that everyone gets her name wrong. Kelsey is just there. I guess they're the kinds of people who use the blue line. This guy was ultra-impressed but a train was approaching and because it was so packed, I wasn't able to get on it and so I drew the tall woman because I love the expression she had.
The women in white, and possibly the tall woman whom I lost amongst the passengers packt like sardines in a crushd tin box, were going to see the Zack Something Band at Fenway. I thought they were at Greenfest because she was carrying a bottle of Honest Tea. I don't remember what it was. Maybe it was Honest Kids very berry lemonade. A guy took a sample of that and I'm like "Hey, you're not a kid. Well, I'm not a kid either. Fuck you, labeling!" Well, I kind of just wrote that last part down.
I could't draw them as we were crammed into the steps and, as I was more than happy to metaphorically rub in their faces, I was getting off at Park Street.
burning question: so, which do you will be released first, Avernum 3: Ruined World, or July Skies' A Day In The Country?
