Hmm, awkward.

Dance Time

This is how we dance in summer school, y'all. Oh, we also waltz and samba, but that's not important now.

Vote '08

Please Play

This would probably look a lot nicer if I knew how to make the photos into a slide show. In any case, I got to go and see "Playing the Building," which I blogged about not too long ago. I'll put the instructions to the instrument below this blurb. I don't expect you to really read them or for it to make sense. Basically there were three different types of sounds: motors, hammers, and pipes. I really liked how everything was put together. It fit the building very well, it wasn't glamorous; the pipes looked warn and would have blended in anywhere in the city.

Hair Break

It seems that twice a week, instead of focusing on music (as it is a music camp) we take time out to have our own version of "Shear Genius." Most of the kids get involved and I've been the victim of it. Here we have Ms. Minnis' do. It was created and designed by our very own Allison W. I can't wait for next week...

Commitment Ceremony

Something I've been trying to get on my iPod for ages. You got to love Julie Goldman and Kate McKinnon.

Dollar

I found this dollar on the ground during the Sidewalk Sales. The next day I was gypped a dollar in a restaurant, so I guess it makes up for that transaction. And then I put it on WheresGeorge.com.

Heinz

I found this UK commercial vid a little less than a month ago. Sadly, I read that the commercial got two hundred and some complaints and they ended up taking it off the air. Soon after they decided that there was nothing wrong with the commercial but also chose to not re-air it. Oh, well. It was definitely cool of Heinz to make it in the first place.

Carnival of the Animals

Possibly my favorite musical work, "Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint-Saens is performed by a small collection of instruments. I found this video and others by the same group of each movement. I immediately fell in love with the way they portrayed each animal and the creative changes made in "The Pianists." I suggest checking out the full youtube collection here.

Hot Sauce

Taco Bell, which has become the ultimate ranting venue for me and my friends, began producing a different sauce packet design a couple years ago. They all have short messages in the white space such as "Bike tires scare me." We check them every time, it seems that you get a selection of sayings depending on the Taco Bell you frequent. Some of my favorites include:
Not it!
At night the sporks pick on me.
I collect straws.
Where are you taking me?
And here's a sight with a few more where they're collecting the different packets they find.

Playing the Building

A short video showing just a few of the things that one can do with David Byrne's latest creation, "Playing the Building." Check out this sight for more information.

(Thanks Ms. Minnis.)

Labels

Yes, another one of my youtube shorts. It's a video response to this.

Dance

My friend at one of her performances last year. I'm glad someone captured this exact moment. The whole experience was beautiful.

First Vid

If these videos don't seem to make sense, they come from my YouTube channel, so I'm mainly speaking to that audience. Let me know if there's anything you want me to talk about in my videos. I'm open to most anything.

History

Lately, I don't feel comfortable unless I'm making history. I need to know that I made a significant difference in the movement. It's another opportunity to discover the wonders of volunteering.

Rube Goldberg Machine

Kendra sent this video to me a couple months ago. It's a recording of the Rube Goldberg Machine she made with a group in one of her classes. This was the first time they tried the whole system at once, and I believe she said theirs was the most successful. In any event, I was very impressed. I recommend youtube-ing "Rube Goldberg" and viewing some of the featured videos. Awesome job, Kendra!
