Ruckus pictures, Jim's Journal and revelry

[flexagon]

Some pictures from Ruckus Boston:



(I didn't realize that the photographers along the course were going to try to sell me pictures later... they're expensive and I'm settling for stealing the small sized previews.)

I think I look strong, fit and happy there. Nice to see from the outside -- I've been feeling much more fidgety and directionless than that lately, about physical stuff, on the inside.

And for those who were in college in the 90s... Jim's Journal has started back up. Minimalist, Zen and slacker, this one was a winner in the day. 2011 seems to bring us a prequel of sorts, as Jim is now living at home and just graduating from high school.

Here is today's:



And now the obligatory mention: we just got back from Reign of Revelry, where I knew an incredible percentage of the performers and random helpers. It was good! The guy sitting next to me was a contact juggler who taught me a couple of simple hand manipulations to practice, and I got to say hello to dilettante and ellenclaire, and see harm_city_heart in performance for I think the first time.

I agree.
You look:
-fit
-happy
-like you are having a blast.

You look great! You look like you're having the best time, too. Getting dirty is fun.

sadly, I was busy in Worcester tonight with a competing gig, and so you didn't get to see/hear me in the band tonight. :-}

We saw you, too! I like that you guys are getting involved in playing for circusy things rather than just theater :)

[flexagon]

That explains it. :) Yes, we were a little confused by seeing coraline but not you... I'll tell heisenbug that the mystery is solved.

Yup. I'm totally jealous of how awesome you look doing that.

I felt the same way about the expensive full sized ones, I wonder how many sales they make per event? It also seems like there were maybe only three or four photographers, all the pictures seem to be from the same four obstacles.
I had decided to go with a light long sleeved top to try and avoid cutting up my arms on the crawling sections, but I'm envious of your tank top in retrospect, I ended up being a bit too warm.

All style and no substance, I assure you. :) We were 15 minutes slower than the average for the course.

Yeah, I wonder too. I think it makes sense to have the photographers pretty strategically placed... when I saw them I figured they were there for general pictures of the race itself. I had no idea that they were trying to take identifiable pictures of each person.

There was WAY more running than crawling.
