When you get out of the shower and realize you forgot your bath towel, you realize pretty quickly that the hand towel can do the job so long as you don’t need an object to wrap around yourself or have recently changed the hand towel out so it isn’t covered in hand crud. Then again didn’t Pulp Fiction prove you should only be drying clean hands with the hand towel? That’s all I remember from that jumbled mess.

Last night we caught the latest Water Ballet from Fluid Movement in Baltimore. If you haven’t gone, you should, it’s a great show and you probably haven’t ever seen a Water Ballet in your entire life.

Even with this strong recommendation, I know you won’t go. It’s not because you’re an uncultured mess of a person. It’s just that you’re a mess of a person, like 95% of Americans you just don’t have your shit together enough to spend time on such a ridiculous thing. Let me summarize with a graphic:

What had me thinking about this, was, as we entered the insanely long queue (that’s how you say line when you live at the top of this pyramid) the attendant asked our name, checked us off a list and marked our hands with a hand drawn star from a sharpie. I asked why, and it’s so they know we have paid.

Nobody checked tickets past that point. Hundreds of people filed in to the Baltimore public pool to fill in folding chairs and bleachers. They didn’t actually check for this hand symbol at any point. I mean, they know, and I know, and everybody who was there knows, that nobody snuck in. It would be an impossibility. People with things to straighten out further down this pyramid are simply not interested in watching an all volunteer, beautifully choreographed, and well acted performance of over a hundred people.

A person who would sneak into a Water Ballet would simply not have made it to the love and belonging section where people stop stealing from others, let alone past Esteem where they would be seen entering this type of event or exceeding self actualization where you admit that holy fuck is the concept interesting.

Last night’s theme was about banned books. You can’t go see it because the run is over. We go every year. You can find it here https://fluidmovement.org/

Here’s a couple quick snapshots I took with my cameraphone:

Maybe that last one I stole from their website but it’s a cool logo. I hope you sort out your problems.
