the art of being cool

Step one: hang out in a walk-in freezer.
Step two: pretend its normal to be there
Step three: warn each person who enters the walk-in freezer to buy beer about the conspiracy of global warming and scream at them to leave your igloo!

Or... you can simply enter yourself into a "coffeehouse" performance slot with no marketable talents.

Tonight my younger sister Clare and I will perform "Any Dream Will Do" before a hopefully small audience and other performers, all of whom are taking their performances quite seriously. Clare will be playing the part of Joseph and wearing jeans, a yellow/colourful housecoat with a gold bomber jacket overtop and cowboy boots. Very Egyptian. I will be playing the part of the Narrator and will wear a black dress with gold sparkles and a big bow in the back.

Neither Clare nor I will ever be asked to join a choir. Our singing lessons were typically combined with dance-offs in our kitchen at home. We have also never been asked to join a dance troupe. We will be acting out the song quite literally tonight, and I just hope everyone takes our performance very seriously also!  That would be ideal.
