Esther Williams RIP

Esther Williams, athlete and film star, died yesterday.  She was an amazing woman, who was first and foremost a swimmer.  She was all set to compete in the Olympics when WWII broke out but instead of letting it get her down she took her talents to the silver screen and made a big splash.  Her two biggest hits were Dangerous When Wet and Easy to Wed.  She was 91 years old.

Quote from Willem DaFoe

“If you’re too worried about controlling of the gesture, then you’re not gonna be addressing your intuitive side, your subconscious, you’ll only be able to do what your conscious mind tells you to do.  You’re gonna be bound by psychology and meaning, not gonna be experiencing the stuff experientially.”

– Willem DaFoe

I’m so excited about this place! The building is completely renovated and really beautiful.  I’m sure all of that creative energy can only be good.  It also has a Projekt Raum that we might be able to use for showcases.  They’ve invited us to perform at their open house for those of you who think you’re scene might be ready for that… If so, let me know.  Maybe we can put something together.
