Apologies for the delay, folks, but I was out with this one and several others from our show, and I was too sleepy by the time we got back to the hotel to string 17 syllables together. Our trombone player, Andrew, is a regular player with the Thursday night swing band at Green Mill when he's not out on tour, and he invited us to check it out. Alex and Giancarlo both sat in with the band, and Kurt and Giancarlo danced with Chloe and Cherie and me. Kurt taught me a move called the slingshot, which we later practiced verrrrry slowly while we waited for the train (prudence of practicing swing dancing on a snowy train platform late at night after even just one drink: questionable).
3 more days and 5 more shows in Chicago!
This is a really fun one! Who would thought a few syllables would be enough to create a surprising ending?!
ReplyDeletehaha thanks! It was such a fun night :)
ReplyDeleteTraditionally, haiku (not that mine are traditional) are supposed to have a twist at the end :) Who knew!?
