Weekly Report from Boulder
Congrats to Grammy winners Youssou N’Dour, Brave Combo, Steve Earle and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. It sure seems that some interesting awards do go out once you get past the pop categories. Last night I went out to a movie in lieu of staying home and watching the awards. Why watch when they don’t even telecast the winner of best polka album?

Our performance room stayed busy last week with a great time on Monday as Javier Gonzalez brought in his latest project, Indosonix. Wednesday afternoon we did an in-studio (and rehearsal time) for Devotchka, and on Friday it was the cast of Cats from Boulder Dinner Theater.

Devotchka was so much fun that on Friday after a friend and I went out to dinner we decided to hit the town. First stop was Trilogy Lounge where Integral Naked was hosting an evening of performance featuring some dancers and Stuart Davis. After a few of his songs we headed over to Boulder Theater and caught the tail end of Slow Rosa. They were fun, and featured a hot violinist. But of course Devotchka stole the show. They are fun to hear and watch. During You Love Me they had some of our local aerial dancers come out and perform on the fabric hanging at the back of the stage. What a change from the earlier dance performance where only those in the front row could see. Suddenly aerial dance made so much more sense to me as they held cupid shapes and rolled down and climbed back up the fabric.
