Incognitos 30th anniversary



Without this band and especially Bluey, I would not be where I am today... an enourmous thanks to Bluey for being there for me all of these years and for the support and love he has shown us all... here's to the next 30 years!!!

Tornado






There was a tornado warning at one of our last shows in St Paul... it was insane... just before the intermission before high wire we heard a loud siren.... then the emergency lights went on and we were told to exit the big top immediately.... so before we know it we were all (artists, crew AND audience) being piled into a parking lot under a bridge which was across from where we perform... it was a crazy twilight zone moment... one second we were performing to a thousand people, next minute we were trapped under a bridge with them - sirens and police cars everywhere... nuts!

Bodies Exhibition



Went to see this exhibition called "Bodies" at the Mall of America.... at first I wasn't sure how I would feel about seeing all these dead bodies and body parts.... but it was really mind blowing and gave me so much insight into the wonder which is our body that I can highly recommend it if it is in a town near you!

Taiko drumming workshop





We had the opportunity to do a Daiko drumming workshop at MU Daiko in St Paul, hosted by Iris Shiraishi.
It was extremely inspiring to learn about all of the thought the put into movement combined with drumming and to also get a crash course in a typical Japanese rhythm... totally awesome!
Here is a taste of Mu Daiko performing on youtube:

...sound quality isn't great but check out the moves!
