So much fun over here!
Went to one of the parks in the city for Dixieland Jazz by a sweet group called Virus - their clarinet player is very smooth and bubbly. It was great.
I also found living space! I’ll be moving to Brunswick (a north central suburb) this week. Rent is only $100 a week (which is in the middle of the road), and the room is furnished! Also, laundry machine and dishwasher. I’m living with two others - a mid 30’s programmer (Bernard) and a late 20’s IT specialist (Elle). B is the owner, and E is another boarder like me. They’re musicians teaming up (there’s a studio upstairs) and generally very cool and interesting and different people. Not like those in swing or circus. Tho, I met B thru the swing crowd. It’s good.
Went to the circus folks show for the graduating class (the first ever from NICA). It was great! Some of the people are going to tour with Cirque once they’re finished. Amazing aerial performances - tissu, rope, hoop, straps, pole - it was incredible to see people my age doing these things.
