I had to substitute chaperone my 4 year old daughter's preschool class to The Strong Museum to see Gary the Happy Pirate (think Raffi on a more local level) perform so I missed the rest - did I miss anything so good that it will make me curse Gary the Pirate for the rest of his life? I actually tried to listen a bit even after I loaded the van up with 5 preschoolers which was impossible until my daughter heard jian's voice on the radio and started yelling, "Hey you guys shush - be quiet - Mommy, is that Moxy Foo-pus???" I can't believe she recognized his voice but she got so excited and she thought we were going to a Früvous show. I tried to call in and request The Kids Song for them, but the cell phone cut out on my while I was in radio never-land so I gave up. The rest of the 4 year olds were enthralled by gary, Madeleine was pouting the whole time because it WASN"T Früvous... Anyway, I entertained/consoled myself by thinking of all the ways Gary the Happy Pirate (or Raffi for that matter) represents something on the order of a Früvous show for preschoolers. Good music, some bad puns, lots of audience participation, wide range of ages present, the fans knew all the words (and the hand motions), occasional political references that were foreign to half the audience (things only the adults get), puppets (not naked), good times together w/ good friends... I could go on forever but I need to work and I'm boring those of you who are kids and therefore don't have kids (I hope!)...

I wore the costume to High School once a long while back, and everyone asked me what the A was for. I decided to tell them "I have and Iron Deficiency...It stands for Anaemic. You know, red like blood?" I should have figured that people who have never heard of Nathaniel Hawthorne probably don't know what Anemia is either, but it made me laugh... I am SO pleased that there is another Hester-soul out there. When I tried to explain to the nice checker in the grocery store, I had a hard time explaining to him that the A was for Adulteress...but I wasn't an adulteress. He just looked more confused. ; ) Did you go the traditional black and white route? Weird side note - I went to a party on Capitol Hill (the "Gay" district in Seattle) and the weird Christian picket people (who distribute strange Jesus propaganda and hold huge signs "advocating" Jesus) called me Little Bo Peep. I was a little saddened by that. Sorry for frulessness. Glad to see everyone enjoyed NoHo (except us 5 who stayed home).

Agreed. I've posted my answer before, so I won't again. It's a good thread, though. I think that everyone who's ever posted on this topic has elucidated part of it, and by taking the parts of those interpretations that have meaning in our own lives and filtering them *through* our lives, we create an interpretation that is sublime, but tailored to our own inner experience. *Very* Zen. On many levels, it *is* about an elf. :) - --- Lori "...When I am dreaming, I don't know if I'm truly asleep or if I'm awake And when I get up, I don't know if I'm truly awake, or if I'm still dreaming..." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 03 Nov 1998 19:38:06 GMT From: Srm9988n@aol.com Subject: Re: Consider this....

(Am I penalized for a run-on sentence?) To be fair to BNL, whose "Stunt" I have not yet obtained (I've been spending all my spare bucks on Frudiscs), I've heard other cuts off this that are much better than "One Week". So if the new fan base is sufficiently motivated to go out and buy the CD they are in for a pleasant education that may lead them to a more lasting appreciation of BNL. - -- Lori "...When I am dreaming, I don't know if I'm truly asleep or if I'm awake And when I get up, I don't know if I'm truly awake, or if I'm still dreaming..." ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Nov 1998 15:07:30 -0500 From: Sheryl Stoller Subject: Re: Quote of the weekend On Mon, 2 Nov 1998, Demetriou, Melanie wrote: > I think we should have a contest for Quote of the Weekend in NoHo.
