2008.5.25. High School Musical at Paramount. The choreography and rhythm of "Get'cha Head in the Game" at the basketball practice is very good. The rest are fit only for high school audience.

The 37th Folklife Festival at Seattle Center during the Memorial Day weekend.

2008.5.4. Rattlesnake Ledge

2008.5.4. Finally good weather. Rattlesnake Ledge, my first hike this season.

6:30pm: My Fair Lady at Paramount Theatre. Good acting. Simple but efficient stage sets (mostly pull down screens). I'm an ordinary man and Hymn to Him are pretty funny. Wouldn't it be lovely and I could have danced all night sound very familiar.
