2011.07.31 13:00 - Within the sphere of Blub

The guardian for this session was Maxine Walden.  The comments are hers.

Just the hour previous to this session the Molecule Theatre Players held a wonderful performance which set nearly everyone aglow.  Here is the link to a portion of that performance mentioned here and a couple of times later in the chatlog.

 YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTsuQc9ojIQ&feature=mh_lolz&list=LLJd1h9sGQndU

Most of the chatlog deals with various responses to that Molecule Theatre performance. The chatlog title "within the sphere of Blub" refers to a comment late in the session in which Bruce extended the sphere of his ever-present Blub to include little Fc sitting beside him.  Fc had not been at the performance, and may have felt left out.  At least for me, as goc,  there was an ongoing tension between those who had and those who had not been attending the performance, as if those within the sphere of the performance and those who might have left out of that sphere.

Aphrodite Macbain: yes

Maxine Walden: not sure, what error 499 means, does anyone else?

Agatha Macbeth: Hope you have your chatlog running :)

Aphrodite Macbain waves at Bertrum

Riddle Sideways: probably should save the chat log manually

Bleu Oleander: never saw that before

Riddle Sideways: like the good ole days

Maxine Walden: yes, think I may have to had log this one....:)

Bertrum Resident: hi everyone

Agatha Macbeth: The server is playing up and may not give you the log even if you claimed it

Agatha Macbeth: Hmm...wonder if it's a local thing

Aphrodite Macbain: Hi druth

druth Vlodovic: hi all

Maxine Walden: hi, druth

druth Vlodovic: took a detour through crashland :)

Riddle Sideways: yes, the theater was actiing perfectly

Agatha Macbeth: Seems to be a lot of it about

Agatha Macbeth: Maybe cos it's Sunday

Aphrodite Macbain: Isn't Sunday always the busiest?

Agatha Macbeth: Yep

Aphrodite Macbain: snap

druth Vlodovic: the theatre went without a hitch, so we can be grateful for that

Maxine Walden: I was just trying to think about how it takes me a bit of time to really metabolize creative encounters! Maybe I felt a bit monacular (one-eyed) about it when I made the slip earlier...might take a bit of time to feel two-eyed (fully seeing.feeling) the performances

Agatha Macbeth: Indeed

Aphrodite Macbain: I can hear the noise from the gay pride parade going by

Bleu Oleander: btw if anyone missed the video here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTsuQc9ojIQ

Aphrodite Macbain: lots of cheering and drummming

Agatha Macbeth listens

Aphrodite Macbain: can you hear it Aggers?

Agatha Macbeth: Nope, just the birds :p

Riddle Sideways: 9 seconds by 9 seconds

Riddle Sideways: liked that part of poem

Maxine Walden: I would imagine there might be both exhileration and maybe a bit of let down after the performances.....

Maxine Walden: yes, Riddle, the 9 x 9...

Bleu Oleander: Eden's poem is great

Bleu Oleander: fun to work with

FcSeeker Resident: waves to Bleu

Sunshine Vayandar is Online

Bruce Mowbray: Bye, Bleu -- WONDERFUL job!

Riddle Sideways: after such a wonderful performance it is hard to get into deep meaningful chat here

Maxine Walden: How does it feel, Storm, now, after all the performance?

Agatha Macbeth: Shouldn't it be easier?

Riddle Sideways: doesn't anybody want to talk about time, space and the whatever

Maxine Walden: Riddle, sounds like you may have something?

Storm Nordwind: A combination of exhilaration and relief Maxine. And so pleased that all the hitches were ironed out in rehearsal - pleased for all those who put so much effort into it

Riddle Sideways: nope, got nothin

Maxine Walden: Sometimes just the recovery after an exposure to art seems to be the deep topic, in my experience

Riddle Sideways: not Storm has 10 things off the todo list.

Storm Nordwind: 25 things!

Maxine Walden: !!

Bruce Mowbray: ;-)

Riddle Sideways: only 1,234 more to go

Storm Nordwind: But we have a performance for Kira Japan on Tuesday at 6am SLT

Maxine Walden: ah!

Bruce Mowbray: Stormy did a WHOLE lot of work on this one -- (oops) I meant to type "Play on this one."

Riddle Sideways: translated?

Storm Nordwind: A repeat of the June 12th performances

Storm Nordwind: Almond Andel of Kira Japan has done an amazing job of translating all the posters, signs, scripts and subtitles into Japanese for them. So although you're welcome to come (at 6am), please be warned that everything will be in Japanese (except Zen's and my voices!).

Riddle Sideways: oh wow!! just got an invite to a tie-dying party

Riddle Sideways: what fun, bye all

Storm Nordwind waves

Agatha Macbeth: What colour?

Bruce Mowbray: bye, Riddle.

Maxine Walden: bye riddle

Agatha Macbeth: Bye rid

Bruce Mowbray: Finite art serves the boundaries -- INfinite art PLAYS with the boundaries -- and that's what we do in performance as Being.

Bruce Mowbray: witness what we just saw at the Molecule Theater.

Maxine Walden: interesting way to put it, Bruce

Maxine Walden: care to say more?

Bruce Mowbray: Hmmmm . . . Do I have to think?

Maxine Walden: :)) sorry

Bruce Mowbray: My brain is full of baboons.

Maxine Walden: I was just thinking as well:

Maxine Walden: wonderful Italian flavor and the mixing of the gods and mortals with passion seeming to easily cross the boundaries

Bruce Mowbray: My MRI brain scan proved it.

Agatha Macbeth: The ape of Thoth maybe

Bruce Mowbray: ;-)

Storm Nordwind smiles and nods to Maxine

Bruce Mowbray: oh yes.

Maxine Walden: :), storm, was Zeus jealous when aphrodite zipped off on the scooter?

Bruce Mowbray: ;-)

Maxine Walden: with a mere mortal?

Agatha Macbeth: Brucie a mere mortal?

Maxine Walden: :)

Storm Nordwind: Naturally! In some myths he is her father. In others just her lover.

Storm Nordwind: He's used to being the center of attention

Bruce Mowbray: No -- Brucie went WITH Aph! She was driving.

Storm Nordwind: He lost an admirer!

Bruce Mowbray: ;-)

Maxine Walden: and then Zeus might think he could be any or all the above....!

Bruce Mowbray dies from laughing....

Agatha Macbeth: Tick as appropriate

Storm Nordwind: Naturally. Zeus is a philanderer extraordinaire!

Maxine Walden: ah, yes, that 'I want what I want' insistence...

Maxine Walden: the gods might be our fantasies of what it is like to have 'no boundaries'

Storm Nordwind: And normally "I ALWAYS get what I want - how could you deny me?"

Maxine Walden: hmm

Agatha Macbeth: Here comes Zen - with hair!

Bruce Mowbray had to dodge those thunderbolts, though.

Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Zen!

Maxine Walden: :)

Storm Nordwind: Well Zeus is as real as you are to me. So I only speak from my own encounters :)

Zen Arado: Hi all

Maxine Walden: hi, Zen

FcSeeker Resident: Hello Zen

Agatha Macbeth: Love the retro look Zen

Zen Arado: thanks

Agatha Macbeth: yw

Zen Arado: hair isn't very ARC friendly though

Agatha Macbeth: Neither is mine, that's why I changed it

Storm Nordwind: Much appreciated Agatha :)

Agatha Macbeth: (couldn't do a thing with it)

Maxine Walden: :)

FcSeeker Resident: thinks that there's much problems to be the human being...

FcSeeker Resident: with hairs and clothings...

Zen Arado: yeh sigh

Agatha Macbeth: Fc, you could be right

Zen Arado: we get it tough

Maxine Walden: easier to be a panda, maybe?

FcSeeker Resident: much I c

FcSeeker Resident: awww

Maxine Walden: Bruce did you just bring a small scooter for Fc?

FcSeeker Resident: the fich goes around me now :)))))

Bruce Mowbray: nope -- but someone did!

Bruce Mowbray: Blub likes you, Fc.

FcSeeker Resident: smiles widely

Maxine Walden: Fc might feel more included, within the sphere of Blub

Agatha Macbeth: I like you too FC

Bruce Mowbray: ;-)

FcSeeker Resident: thank you Aggers

Storm Nordwind: "Within the sphere the Blub" - great chatlog title!

FcSeeker Resident: (blushes)

Agatha Macbeth: Pandas are cute

Maxine Walden: hmm, there is a video link which I can try to retrieve, Bruce, or Agatha, what about the whole performance?

Zen Arado: no don't think it was recorded
