weekend

Spent the weekend performing at the Animal Masquerade at the Great American Music Hall. We performed our fat-positive re-write of "Mein Herr" in corsets, petticoats and animal costuming depicting animals that are typically used to insult fat people (pig, elephant, hippo, dog and cow). We were a hit both nights which was great. Saturday's show had a much larger audience than tonight's which figures as Sunday is not a great night for a show, but both audiences were quite appreciative.

It was fun, but I have to say it was a whole hell of a lot of work to be on stage for roughly four minutes each night. Urgh. Not to mention we ptor and I) had to make two trips into the city yesterday (once for tech and once for the show) which amounted to over four hours of driving. Why two trips? I didn't have enough milk stored for S. to be away from him for very long and my pumping output is almost negligible at this point so I had to come home to feed him midday yesterday. I have now chewed through almost all the milk I had stored for him. I need to work on this pumping issue. My mom came and watched S. yesteday and he enjoyed all the nana time. She stayed through this afternoon so ptor and I actually got to get some yardwork done and go out to lunch together all by ourselves! Yay for a lunch date without Mr. S.! We love him and love being with him but we hardly get any time alone and it is nice (especially for me) to eat a meal without negotiating feeding him at the same time.
