Mime troupe at Live Oak

| | Comments (1)

We just got back from the San Francisco Mime Troupe's latest show- Showdown at Crawford Gulch. It was really quite good. Even Anirvan's high school friend John, who is visiting from out of town and went to see the show with us thought so..and he is self proclaimed Republican!

I appreciated the subtlety in this years show more than last years which had felt a little too tired in its jokes about the same people and issues. But trust the current administration to always provide enough material for the troupe to take off on. The act abounded with references to the war on terror, media sellout, abu gharaib and the upcoming elections. Definitely a must see.

On the way back from Live Oak Park where the troupe was playing, we scored on a black Ikea sofa/ chair for just $9! The chair has 2 wheels infront instead of legs- weird, but still a deal for that amount. John and Anirvan carried it back to the house, which thankfully was only a few blocks away. It fits quite well in the room even if I say so myself.
