kids!

i was accosted this weekend by a pack of small children. they had been in attendance at our production this weekend at von king park, and afterwards were terribly keen to meet the assembled company. well. as most people will tell you, nothing attracts small kids quite like a large noisemaker hung around your neck. like a guitar.

so, i was sitting there, minding my own business, when this pack of children comes up to me. they ask me to play a song. i oblige, playing them the theme from the show. then they want more. then THEY want to play my guitar. and it escalates, and they won't let me leave, and i'm trapped by small children in a pile and ring about me. i finally managed to flee the scene, but i had to handoff my guitar before i could, it was the only way i could make a break for it.

i fear small children.

actually, it wasn't so bad. these kids were not of the sort you'd expect to see hanging around a shakespearean production, so that they were there at all was amazing. the fact that they were interested in us was unreal. though i still fear them.
