So James<\/a> was “featured” in this presentation I went to recently. The presentation was 9-1-1: the Youth Response. I really could care less (yes, I’m a heartless\/anti-country\/atheist\/communist\/terrorist\/Satanic\/evil\/Streisand-loving BASTARD) about “the events of September 11” (I’m tired of hearing that phrase), but it was really just a concert of kids’ musical acts, dances, poetry readings, and PSAs (of which James was part of), most of which were really, really great.<\/p>\n

There were lots of kids I recognized… in this mystical sort of ballet performance, a guy double-cast for my role in an upcoming play was there, this TL a cappella group I’m friends with performed, and of course, there was James. (I’ll get to it soon, trust me!)<\/p>\n

It seemed that the ones people put the most effort into were not at all patriotic. Younger kids read small poems about “America is cool, yay yay,” and a few choirs and bands sung patriotic songs, and they were all nice and such, but the really nice ones talked of peace and life; many of those, in a nutshell, telling how dumb America is.<\/p>\n

Now, about James. And more importantly, about the tech at the performance. Whoever was in the tech booth (if any) did a TERRIBLE job. TERRIBLE. He\/she\/it missed almost all of the light cues, and couldn’t get any of the PSAs (which were video presentations by Digiquest<\/a>) to display property. So instead of actually seeing a few weeks of work by James, I got to see the master of ceremonies, a middle-aged white guy in 80’s rapper clothing, beatboxing to fill time.<\/p>\n

But all in all, I really liked the performance. Fun stuff. Yeah. Woo. Conclusions should be unneccessary. Yup. Okay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
