Somebody just went bicycling down Bay State Road on their black bicycle, holding a black umbrella overhead as they sailed along.  Spied through the leaded glass windows of my office, the effect was quite Gorey-esque!

Time for me to venture out into the rain.  I suspect I will look Gorey-esque in the sense of looking like one of those wet dishrag things that drapes over the landscape.  Or at any rate that is how I feel.

Your sighting made me flash on Desert Sin's last Rakkasah performance.

Scroll about halfway down. It was fab to watch!

I've seen those photos--it looked very intriguing! Did they use the umbrellas and wrappings just to make an entrance, or did the whole number involve the props?

That was their entrance piece. It was fairly substantial though--definitely a dance, not just an entrance. It was my favorite part of their set.

I think they did two other pieces, though I am only remembering one. It was to a Dead Can Dance song, and involved lots of circles and very powerful upper body and arm movements, and some floor work. Part of it had a ritualistic, almost zar-like quality to it (for me, anyway). I actually did not enjoy it that much, but I appreciated seeing it. It seemed like something I would want to see tended to a bit, cleaned up, made tighter, focused...in a year I bet it could be amazing.

They do great work.
