More adventures in November

[fbhjr]

We’re getting very close to the Mobile AL show. Sunday was our second to last practice before we head down south. Like last week, we had a guest reviewer to look at our fights.


Curtis was the founder of the group that came before Phoenix Swords. He was always quite an idea man, and a lot of the stuff we do in Phoenix was stuff he thought of 8 years ago. (Like the fire show. We still use his design for the fire swords.) A lot isn’t too. (Like the historical work and stage shows.) But, it is still interesting to hear what he has to say seeing what we do these days.

Last week everyone but silverdragonma got through their fights without problem. This week, he was the only one that didn’t seem to have a problem. But, I’m putting that down to a bigger audience last week along with being in costume. That really does change things in the way people perform.
Sitting around in street clothes with few folks watching, it’s easy to say “Wait, let me try that again.”

(The shot above is very unfair to morgan_lafaye, but I couldn’t resist as she says I always take this sort of shot of her...
You can also see that even palusbuteo showed up to review some of the fights with us, even if we weren’t able to talk him into coming with us.

I did wear the “ninja shoes” my wife gave me for practice.



They work pretty well. Good grip on the soles. (Those who point out they aren’t true ninja shoes miss the point.)

My wife left early to bring her mother to the Dolly Parton concert, but the rest of us went off to dinner.

As with the day before, it was a beautiful day. Getting to the practice grounds involves driving around a reservoir and that is almost always nice to see. But, this time of year it’s really great.




Yesterday my wife gave me a noodle bowl and some chopsticks to use at work. They were very nice, but sadly I forgot them at home today.

a great idea for a movie -

Hey !!

Instead of "Beverly Hills Ninja", you guys could make a sword fighting movie called "Shrewsbury Heights Ninja" ! Huh ?!?! Howaboutithowaboutit ?!?!?

OK, so maybe it isn't the greatest idea I've ever had.
What else can we do for "national beard month" ?
