    Elan Summer Dance Festival

    I’ve not had much time to upload photos from the Massachusetts trip, but I wanted to upload this video of a dance performance I watched in Provincetown last Saturday. There were free dance performances all day as part of the Elan Summer Dance Festival and I would’ve watched every single one had we been there longer than a day trip — the dances were both evocative and engaging. (There was one dance where a man and woman were joined by a pair of handcuffs.)

    I’m disappointed the video came out so dark! I’ll upload some photos later to show the dancers better.


  2. Veg Potluck Feast

    dinner at Rob's

    For an ordinary Tuesday evening, there was some truly extraordinary eating going on. A bunch of us got together for a vegetarian potluck dinner with Rob and a couple of his couchsurfers, and I can include Eric in the CS category since he stayed with Rob for a few days last week to vary his accommodation (and reduce the cat company from two to one!).

    Eric cooked up some yummy minestrone soup — a modified version of his mum’s recipe to make it vegetarian-friendly, I put together my Tex-Mex-ish salad, Maram made spicy tofu, the German and Austrian surfers made an entree with spinach and gorgonzola cheese, Rob made mango sticky rice and polenta, and I’m sure there was more food but I’m too full to try and remember it all…
